Passage to Iquique, Chile, Day 2

14 35.043 S, 76 14.002 W

Today was more of the same, motor sailing, but we were able to use the staysail and yankee as well, which helped reduce our fuel consumption. The winds go as high as 9 knots at one point and the sea was relatively calm with just slow swells and no wind waves at all. We saw lots of dolphins, boobies, seals, sea lions and pelicans all fishing.

Beyond us was busy with container ship traffic. One ship was even going to Iquique. We did not ask for a tow.

Not much to report, which I guess is a good thing.

Cheers
