Caleta Ideal

47 45.593 S, 74 53.485 W Caleta Ideal

This morning we had to slow ourselves down as we wanted some daylight before entering a strange anchorage at night. Normally slowing down is not a problem but we had a current pushing us along. We passed the lighthouse at Isla San Pedro and Rich talked with the keeper and explained who we were and where we were going. Shortly after we turned off the main canal, a 780 foot cruise ship, the Zandam came through at 18 knots. Glad we were not run over.

By 6:20 am we were anchor down and ready for some much needed rest. It didn't take long. This afternoon we inflated the dingy and put it back on the davits as we will be traveling inside the canals for a while and we will need it to tie lines to trees at some of the anchorages. Rich moved more fuel from the jerry jugs to the internal tanks.

Tomorrow we will continue south and explore the canals.
