Today’s News
Timoneer has begun the 7000 mile journey from Punta Arenas, Chile, to Palma, Spain. We finished with the Chilean officials about 0545 this morning and got underway very soon after. We have had up to 30 knots of breeze from behind and 4 knots of current with us to start with and now it is against us. We have just spotted, for our first time, Commerson’s Dolphins which are only found around the Magellan Straits. By sunset tonight we will be out of the Straits and in the Atlantic Ocean. It should then take us around 5 days to get to Punta Del Este, Uruguay, our first stop.
