Today we raised anchor at 9:20 am after the net and headed west-southwest. We had a great sail to Marina Quinched and better yet, it did not rain either though there were some threatening clouds in the distance.
IT is a little sad arriving at the marina. William Bannister who owned and operated the marina died suddenly on Nov 18. His family, including his 3 grown sons are trying to deal with his loss and also trying to understand all of the things that William did at the marina. He was especially helpful to foreign cruisers like us as he speak very good English and assisted with things like zarpes, temporary import permits, extending visas, getting boat parts, bus tickets, finding a dentist, getting fuel and propane, etc. William will be missed by the cruising community.
We, of course, hope to top off our provisions and fuel, as this will be the last place before we get to Puerto Eden some 400 plus nautical miles south. As Monday is a holiday we will have to get this done on Sunday.
I load new charts of southern Chile and the east coast of South America onto the charter/plotter so we are good to go. When we leave here we will be off the grid for a while. Our email will be limited to sailmail which is text only, no attachments. No google news, no facebook, no news, no hotmail. If some major event happens in the world, chances are we will not know about it. Please let us know if the Seahawks make it to the Super Bowl again...
