We are now anchored outside of Villamil, Isabella. The night crossing proved to be prudent as it wasn’t long before we shook out all but one of the reefs in the sails to make some headway. For most of Helen’s watch she had no wind at all and we made only 2nm as a result of the current. As it was, we arrived shortly after 8am when the light was sufficient for us to pick our way around the huge breakers.
As we arrived we saw a large ray swimming by and it wasn’t long before we’d seen sea lions and a penguin swimming around. We’re anchored fairly close to Leu Cat with whom we’ve already chatted on the radio. We’ve also met Steve and Portia (who did once own a Porche) from Dream Caper who are off to our port and popped by to say hello.
We’ve already greased the ‘maintenance free’ seals and are now resting. Tonight we may go ashore for some live music performed by one of the cruisers here. We may also explore the penguin rookery and take some pics.
