Yesterday afternoon the breeze filled in and we gave up trying to slow Timoneer down and instead beared away 10 degrees and we are now heading fast for the Southern end of Chiloe Island and we will then come up the inshore side of it to Puerto Montt. This way we are not restricted by the time of low tide and we should get to Puerto Montt early evening, 15th and in daylight.
Since last night we have been doing 12-13 knots and these conditions are forecasted to last another 24 hours. The sea temperature continues to drop. It is now 53F (12C) and we are getting fog which is making everything damp and cold.
We have just put the clocks forward 2 hours to Chile DST (GMT -3 hrs), so tomorrows mid day report will be 2 hours earlier.
