Isla Puluqui

41 48.877 S, 73 04.892 W

Today was a simple motor from Isla Cheniao to Isla Puluqui. What made it special was the group of dolphins that swam and dove along the boat for a good 20 minutes as we left the anchorage. The water was perfectly flat so you could see them below the surface diving under the boat, swimming near the bow, surfacing along side the boat, looking at us. It is easy to feel that these graceful creatures who are swimming so effortlessly are doing it because it is fun and they are being social. It was a joy to see.

We are now in a narrow fjord that is chock-a-block full of salmon and mussel farms. On the shore a herd of cows are lowing. At the end of the fjord is a small wooden church, an idyllic scene.

Tomorrow we will go to Puerto Montt and a marina. It will be time for laundry, boat projects and other tasks.

Cheers.
