Passage to Iquique, Chile, Day 5

18 44.862 S, 71 08.146 W

At 9:44 am this morning we left the territorial waters of Peru and entered the waters of Chile when we crossed 18 00.000 S.

Since then the seas have become more choppy and the wind has increased to as much as 14 knots. Trying to do something below such as washing dishes it a bit of a challenge but doable. We have seen a number of small fishing boats with an outboard motor and a small cabin like structure on the front. Of course we hope that they will not be out tonight as it was difficult to see them in these seas during the day light, it will be even more difficult at night.

Our current ETA to Iquique is 17:42 UTC tomorrow, 12/11. We are looking forward to arriving.

Cheers from Chile
