Caleta Anihue 12/4

42 19.289 S, 073 15.332 W

This morning we were up anchor at 9:30 am. Rich used our scythe to clear away some lines of mussels off of the anchor. Despite the haze and clouds in the distance we were still about to see snow on the Andes to the east. There were pelicans and penguins floating by. The current was with us, pushing us as much as 1.5 - 2 knots favorably and we saw 8.5 knots of speed over the ground for part of the trip.

We are anchored at Caleta Anihue, near Isla Mechanque which we visited earlier this year. Tomorrow there are predictions of 90% chance of rain so we may stay a day and wait for better weather before continuing.

Cheers,
Elaine and Rich
