Day 4, Passage to Callao

05 05.370 S, 81 28.110 W

We made it around Cabo Blanco. It was a little tough at the end as there were all sorts of fishermen with nets which are lit with lights that flash red, green and white. We wish we could tell where was the end of the row. At one point we tried to go around a net following the lights only to run over it instead. Luckily we did not get caught on it.

Today we have been sailing as much as possible to conserve fuel. Just before I came down to do these entries, the speed log stopped working. This is frustrating as now we don't know how we are being affected by the current. So far it has been minimal but now we will not know at all.

We have one more cape to go around and then it should be 'smooth sailing', or something like that.
