Another long day of motorsailing, with long periods of no wind at all. The seas have calmed down which is nice.
We have been trying to call the Armada on the VHF radio as we pass some of the major ports, as requested by the Port Captain in Algarrobo but so far no answer. There is a lot of radio chatter that you would never hear in the states. Folks play music into their mics, speeches, whistling, etc. It gets a little annoying after a while, In the US, the Coast Guard, would get on the radio and ask them to go to another channel but they seem to put up with it here.
We are anxious to be in Valdivia, probably some time on Sunday.
We will let you know.

I was unable to sent emails last night so there is a double tonight.
Today was much like yesterday. We occasionally see large flocks of birds on the water which fly away en masse as we get closer. They land on a spot farther in front of the boat and then fly away again as we get closer.
We hope to be anchored in the river entry to Valdivia some time tonight. We will wait until morning and a rising tide before entry.
Cheers
