We returned safely to Windarra on Tuesday, March 4, with uneventful flights to Santiago and Puerto Montt, the bus to Castro and the taxi to Marina Quinched.
We moved Windarra to the dock so we can fill the water tanks, charge up the batteries, provision, check out the systems and prepare to do some cruising in the canals. Our friends, Ned and Carol of SV Frannie B are also here at Marina Quinched. The last time we saw them was for lunch in Seattle in 2013 so we have a lot of catching up to do. They have done some cruising in this area and last night they were over for drinks and they brought their charts to show us where they have been and where we might want to explore.
No sure when we will leave the dock but when we do we will be in more remote areas which means no internet, no cell phone but only sailmail and HF radio for communication.
Rich and I are looking forward to seeing some glaciers and wilderness areas. It will be a switch from the bug cities of Philadelphia, Santiago and Buenos Aires. I think we have had enough travel on airplanes as well.
