For some of you who would like to know some of the numbers of the trip, here you go:
Puerto Montt to Puerto Williams
Dec 3, 2014 to Feb. 9, 2015 - 68 days
39 of 68 days we were moving from one anchorage to another
29 of 68 days we stayed put.
Distance traveled: 1432 nautical miles
Average miles traveled per day: 36.7 nautical miles
Longest distance traveled: 75 nautical miles - overnight passage around Golfo de Penas
Shortest distance traveled: 7.5 nautical miles from Bahia Virginia to Puerto Williams
If you were to travel to each anchorage as a crow flies, it would be only 1113 nautical miles but some tough mountains
Strongest sustained winds encountered: 35 knots
Strongest rachas encountered: 44 knots
At our current location, 54 56.121 S, 067 37.126 W, this is the farthest south and the farthest east that we have been since leaving Seattle in 2001 and 2010.
We sailed the Straits of Magellan and the Beagle Channel. Now we are at Puerto Williams, Chile, the southern most town in the world.
