A scramble to the lake

54 32.687 S, 071 54.637 W, Caleta Brecknock

We are still here waiting for a weather window.

Yesterday, Rich replaced the injector for the heater and now it is back to firing every time instead of a random start. All good.

Today I made some cupcakes for treats and brekkie, we will eat some and freeze some. Two French boats have joined us in the anchorage. They are coming from Puerto Williams and headed north. The winds have been gusting to 30 knots from the northeast. We helped them secure their lines and we are tied to each other as well.

This afternoon Rich and I paddled the dingy over to the shore behind us and scrambled up the creek bed to one of the lakes above the anchorage and the source of the waterfall we used to get water from two days ago. You can tell it is windy here as in some areas there are no trees at all sometimes only small shrubs clinging tightly to the ground. The rocks are rounded and smooth. We estimated the lake at a quarter mile long and not sure how deep as we could not see the bottom but a few yards from shore. It was nice to stretch our legs and take some photos of the rock formations and of the boats in the anchorage.

We will check the gribs but suspect we might be here at least another day.

Cheers
