54 56.121 S, 067 37.126 W, Club Naval de Yates Micalvi, Puerto Williams
Yes we are here!
This morning we came in just behind SV Limbo who was returning from a trip to Cabo de Hornas. We grabbed a mooring buoy fore and aft and Rich rowed us into the yacht club. The club house is actually a ship, Transporte Contramaestre Micalvi, which was run aground, on purpose, at the entrance of a a small inlet to create a sheltered basin. We are moored alongside a Dutch boat, and Karma Waters is on our other side. Across from us is Limbo and Frannie B. It is great to see them again. They invited us for a tour of the town and to lunch at one of the few restaurants. First stop was the Armada, to check, next, the bank to get some cash then to lunch. Afterwards we did a tour, stopping at the small grocery stores to pick up a few essentials: fresh lettuce, tomatoes, butter, yogurt, cookies, rum! We found out about wifi, where to get diesel, laundry and trash.
It was great to catch up with Limbo and Frannie B and find out about going to the Horn. We had not seen them since Marina Jechica in December. We have been in HF Radio contact with Carol on Frannie B when we had reception, either in the mornings at 8:45 am before the Patagonia Net or at 5:00 pm. Chris of Storm Bay referred to us ladies on the radio as the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. Jeez!
We are glad to take a break for a bit and recoop. There is still plenty of things to do but we will be in one place for a bit, watching the weather but tied up!
The wifi is slow so it will take a bit for us to reconnect. Hopefully there will be bandwidth available to upload some of our photos.
We made it!
