54 32.687 S, 071 54.637 W, Caleta Brecknock
This morning we were up early and on our way by 7:30 am. For most of the trip around the west end of Tierro del Fuego, we had 1-2 meter swells, long period with some wind waves in Canal Cockburn until we turned the corner into Canal Ocasion. There the seas flatten and the winds went from 10-15 knots to 5-10 knots. We had a bit of a push most of the way.
When we entered Canal Ocasion we saw SV Rana coming towards us. This is a french boat, Rana is Spanish for frog, that our friends on Frannie B met a few days ago. We exchanged some pleasantries on the VHF before we went our separate ways.
Caleta Brecknock is at the end of Seno Brecknock. I suspect that Brecknock is German for broken rock since the whole area is mostly rock with some vegetation scattered here and there. We found a waterfall so we tied up and added some fresh water to our tanks. Afterwards we anchored in a small indentation using some of the lines that fishermen have left which is very convenient for us. Now we are anchored with 4 lines ashore and very secure.
I think we might be here a bit.
