On the road again.... day 1 to Iquique

12 40.693 S, 77 04.650 W

This morning we dropped our moorings and left Yacht Club Peruano and La Punta. The folks at the yacht club were great. The facilities at La Punta make it a wonderful place for the cruiser to stop and we are glad that we did.

We called the yacht club in the morning and gave them the number on our international zarpe. I then called TRAMAR and gave them our information as well. They wished us bon voyage.

Now, like the words of the Willie Nelson song, we are 'on the road again', heading south. So far it has been a motorsail with winds more or less on the nose and some current. The swells are 1-2 meters, at 10 seconds, with less than a foot of wind waves. Early on we saw some fishing boats but none since dusk. We saw lots of boobies diving into the water in large groups like kamekazis, plus some sea lions and a few dolphins would swim by, maybe thanking us for the fish, we are not sure.

Cheers,
Elaine and Rich
