25 15.214'S, 70 45.689'W
This morning after transmitting our position to the Chilean Armada, we left Caleta Blanco Encalada and headed south. We saw two whale blows, lots of birds for a while but then not much else. The hills along the shore are beige, gray and then the tops are the hills are reddish. There has been little in between.
We had a little arts and crafts time, whipping the ends of some triple braid that we use for docking or with mooring buoys. The line had chafed from the piling in Iquique and is now two lines. Rich looked in our book of knots for a suitable knot to join the two. He also made some leather straps to put on shackles to help open them.
We are heading towards Isla Damas. Our fallback is Puerto Caldera if the weather does not cooperate.
Cheers.
