34 14.207'S, 72 17.016'W
This morning we were all set to leave at 9:00 am but had difficulties trying to get a hold of the port captain. Rich went up to the office and had Francois call. By 9:40 am we were on our way. The seas have been 2-3 meters with cross swells making it a rolly ride. The winds are now between 4-7 knots and have changed direction several times. We are motorsailing with just the main and moving along at 6.3 knots. Not much activities, did see a sea lion and a few birds but no shipping traffic other than a few ships near San Antonio on AIS.
So far an uneventful trip which is preferred. The total distance from Algarrobo to Valdivia is about 425 nautical miles and no place to stop for the first 250, so uneventful is good.
We have not seen a single green flash at sunset so far in South America. I don't think we will see one tonight but you never know.
Cheers,
Elaine and Rich
