51 33.611 S, 074 04.676 W, Caleta Moonlight Shadow
Tiare, the 55 foot catamaran left early this morning. We were not too far behind. With our staysail out we did 7.4 knots for most of the day. We saw several groups or pods of fin whales, as many at 6 in a group. We would watch for their blow and look for their small, shark like dorsal fin. All of them were north bound. Did we miss the memo?
Now we are anchored at Caleta Moonlight Shadow. I am not sure how this cove, which is 2 miles inside an island got the name. Perhaps we will see the moon tonight or maybe some stars. Today we had many sun breaks and patches of blue sky with periods of no rain. It definitely lifted our spirits. Not that we mind having rain to help fill our water tanks, but continually does get a little old, especially when the clouds are low and you can't see the view.
But today we were lucky. Whales and sunshine. Now we are tucked in with 3 lines to shore to hold us in place. We are thinking of hanging around tomorrow too.
Cheers
