Yesterday afternoon the wind surprised us and returned to Southerly winds allowing us to continue at 12-13 knots.During the afternoon we had a few sightings of whales but did not manage to identify them.
Early this morning we rounded the southern tip of Chiloe Island and had lovely flat water which has continued all morning. We have been surrounded by islands and mainland Chile all morning. It is great to see so much land. It has been a long time leaving the US.
Our ETA to Puerto Montt is 7pm tonight.
