We have just passed the Isla Rupert, home to 20 000 penguins or so.
Of this number on paper, we are surprised to have seen just a
handful. However, the wildlife was rich, with seals, dolphins and
waterfowl of all varieties. Also spotted two whales.

Otherwise, it becomes colder and colder every day. The writer
(Erik) carries about four layers on the legs (longjohns, trousers, jeans
and rubber gear) and six layers on the upper body (underwear, vest,
shirt, thick sweater, thick sweater 2, rubber gear). Socks, I have only
two pairs on top of each other, as no more can fit in my boots.

It's like in Scotland. The heat is defined by "one sweater day", "two
sweater day "or" three sweater day ".

Anchoring here in Patagonia is generally not done asway, although we have
our secure 50 kgs patent anchor.
No. Samuel and I am the vanguard - "Avant Garde". We launch the dinghy
and travel in advance, sometimes with the sinker on hand so we can find good
places to cast an anchor. Then we fix some ropes and go back up
to the boat, this way you can sew her up on the spot.
We spent last night next to two northbound French yachts.
(Moreover, two out of the five other yachts we have seen since we left
Puerto Montt). They must have had several hundred meters of line out in addition to their
anchors - firmly determined to sleep well.
For it is needed. The night peace, as everyone knows, is entirely dependent on how well
you are secured against the elements.
Now we are going to Canal Smyth, and must find a night port before we get there,
Magellan will have to wait until a bit later.
