We are on the move again as we are on the downhill slide of our colds, with just the residual cough.
This morning at 10:10 am we let loose our dock lines as left the Micalvi at Puerto Williams. The winds were light and the sky had promises of sunshine. Surprisingly enough after over a month sitting the speed log started working right away. I guess not much grows in these cold waters. As we headed east in the Beagle Channel we saw Magellan penguins, the flying variety of steamer ducks, Wandering Albatross, giant petrels and dolphins. Besides the wildlife the channel was quiet.
This afternoon we tied up to the tall pier at Puerto Toro. If Ushuaia is the southernmost city and Puerto Williams is the southernmost town, then Puerto Toro is the southernmost village. We are sharing the pier with 3 fishing boats, loading up on crab pots as it is now the season for centolla, or king crab. Carlos, one of the fishermen, helped us tie up.
Can you guess where we are heading?
