We decided to stay put today. It was sunny for part of the day and high overcast the rest. There was no moonlight shadow, or moon or moonlight last night though.
Rich pickled the watermaker and wrote out a list of parts we need. He also cleaned the engine intake strainer, checked and tighten hoses, etc. I made a new water catcher, or rather a new design to replace the temporary one on port. Of course, no rain today so I have not had a chance to see if it is an improvement or not.
This afternoon, another sailboat came in. The owner is Belgian, his girlfriend is French and the couple with them is Swiss. They are on their way to Punta Arenas and then on to Buenos Aires. We had a nice chat with them. It is nice to know we are not the only ones out here other than the folks we know.
We will check weather again tonight. There are rumors of a big southerly. If so, we will wait.
