Lat S 54 40° / long W 071 53°

Last night we anchored in a small Caleta in full storm. Anchor out;
rubber boat darting from edge to edge, we drew lines in all directions possible.
Good work done, it felt really good to sit inside the boat,
listen to the howling wind, eating dinner, playing cards. By chance
S looked out and said: "Seriously now, here comes another yacht."
We offered two windswept French people to tie down next to us and join in on our
ropes, even pulled out another prow line. It's so grim out here when the winds
rise so when you see another boat you offer all the help you can give.
During the night the wind subsided, and on our morning walk we saw two whales.
They blew a couple of times and then dived with the magnificent
caudal fin high up in the sky. A fabulous sight
