Lat S 55 02,8 / long W 066 41,2

Today a transport, we sail for a fresh westerly and will anchor
in a bay here at Peninsula Miter, as this corner of Tierra del Fuego is called. This
should be a good spot to wait for good weather, it is in the
Pilot book.
The pilot book or Nautical guide as it is known, has been tremendously useful.
It is written by an Italian couple who have sailed in Patagonia for
14 years. They have mapped every little anchorage and passage. When we were in
Puerto Williams, they came in with their boat, we recognized
the name. Talked a bit with them and got a message written into our
book. Great!
