We are back at the marina in Puyuhuapi after two nights on a mooring buoy at Caleta Dorita. On Thursday we took a hike up to Ventisquiero Colgante, the hanging glacier. I have a blog entry with picture but I am unable to post right now as we have limited internet. But I will when we do.
Thursday evening, a 72 foot custom sailboat named Louise arrived and tried to moor to one of the buoys. As they were trying, it was getting dark and raining very hard so what normally would have been an easy task was much more complicated. We wound up switching buoys with them so that they would have enough room to add stern ties to shore and not run aground. They invited us over for drinks and we met Grant and Birgitte, the owners, plus their friends who were visiting and their crew. It was quite an unexpected evening.
That night we got an email from our friends Don and Rita of SV Limbo who would be arriving the next day. So on Friday morning we returned to Marina Puyuhuapi to meet them and give them the grand tour. This was the first time that we arrived some place new ahead of them. They had been leading us starting in Peru.
This morning we woke up to snow on the hilltops. It is definitely getting colder here. We might even have snow tomorrow.
Brrrrrr!
