Merry Xmas from Caleta Cliff

Merry Xmas to everyone!

On the HF radio we talked to Carol on Frannie B at Caleta Yvonne and had good copy as well as on the Patagonia net with Wolfgang. Storm Bay and Limbo have made it safely across the Golfo de Penas.

We are here at Caleta Cliff, having our morning coffee, reading books. In the anchorage the winds are gusting to 24 knots and we can see small breakers at the end on the entrance before the turn to the cove. Depending on the current and our orientation we will sometimes heal to port during a gust and the blowing rain. Rich went out and secured the side solar panels so they did not raise and lower with the wind. We can only imagine what is must be like outside in the open ocean and we are thankful we are here and securely at anchor.

Today we will relax and rest. Later we will check the grib and see what our plan will be.

To all of our friends and family, we wish a happy holiday.

Cheers,
Elaine and Rich
