This morning after the Patagonia net we lifted anchor. It started out partly cloudy with some blue patches and stayed that way for at least half way. The staysail was in and out a few times. We passed one of the canals that lead out to the Pacific and saw a large bulk carrier, the Hanjin Mitisuta, 601 feet long. Glad we had our AIS and that he could 'see' us. It turned and was north bound.

Later in the day we had a series of squalls with rain and winds up to 24 knots and of course some wind over tide. One of the squalls lasted until we just entered the anchorage. We were prepared with our boots and foulies but the wind and rain abated just in time. From where we are anchored we can look out into the main canal.

Tomorrow if the conditions are fair we will start to head more westerly to prepare for going around the Golfo de Penas.
