Golfo de Penas

47 09.076 S, 075 70.071 W

We are now on passage across the Golfo de Penas or as we are calling it, the Golfo de Pain in the A--. It is a lumpy, bumpy ride and the winds have been light so we are motor/sailing when we can. Albert the Albatross and Petra the Petrel have been keeping us company. We just had some dolphins swim by and say hi (and thanks for all the fish).

In addition we have been watching the giant cargo ships go by. Their lengths have been 580, 656 and 898 feet long! Stay out of their way.

Rich talked to the lighthouse keeper at Faro Raper. It was a brief conversation, but a good check in.

We may have to slow down so we have daylight when we enter.

Cheers
