Lat S 54 52,3 / long W 067 20,6

Adventure. I have been thinking about what an adventure is. For us, it has been
sailing and getting to where we are now. The Pacific, first. 2800 NM to French
Polynesia then 4000 NM to Chile. The Chilean channels 1300 NM.
In Ushuaia we have met many people who start their adventure there. Ushuaia is
the hub of the charter yachts. In the morning the taxis arrived with
(mostly) men dragging roller bags. Every day some charter boat set off
day, and another came back. They went for off one or two weeks,
the Horn, often Antarctica, and a glacier on the way home.
We have different amounts of time to realize our adventure.
Now, Th and I start out on a new stage. We are sailing north.
We did not come so far today, we must carefully plan for the weather we will meet. We must position ourselves now and wait out a gale which is going to
pull over on Wednesday
