Easter Is. to Chile Day 7
Noon Position 42deg 35S 78deg 44W
Course – 106 Degrees Speed – 11.5 Knots Day’s Run (22 Hrs)– 272 Miles
Weather – Overcast with a 10′ swell from S
Wind – 10 knots from W
We continue to speed our way towards Chile. Unfortunately at sunrise this morning the wind swung to the West and we could no longer keep the main and genoa full, so furled them away and we are now motor sailing with the staysail and mizzen to try and slow the rolling down.
We have been seeing more and more sea birds including a few more Albatross.
At this stage we are hoping to arrive in Puerto Montt around 8-9pm Wednesday.
