We had hopes of going to Ester Huildad today but the winds on the nose did not permit so we ducked into Puerto Quellon.
Puerto Quellon is the last stop on the PanAmerican highway or Ruta 5. It does not get a very good rating by the Lonely Planet and even the cruising guides say to be careful. We are in the anchorage which is fine. Roberto Taverna, who lives at the house near where we are anchored, came by and introduced himself. He is building a cabin at Puerto San Pedro and plans to develop some facilities to encourage cruisers to stop there. He also plans to build a still and made his own vodka. He was very nice and offered us the use of his truck to go into town to provision. We thanked him for his offer but decided to pass for now.
Hopefully the weather will permit us to continue northward. We are hoping to meet up with our friends Margie and Chris of SV Storm Bay of Hobart who are at Buta Chauques.
Cheers.
