Punta Delgada Anchorage, Straight of Magellan

52.27.00 S  069.32.00 W

Arived 25th February, a soft wind run across Bay of Posesion, three humpback whales spotted, many penguines amongst twenty pluss oil platforms. Anchored in six meters with evening winds building thirty knots, sixty meters of chain out with snatch line and anchor budy, holding well as current pushes another two knots on the bow.

Ships passing by and chain ferry across the narrow point for a fine view of the World going by.

Sitting out the wind for the next leg to Punta Arenas.
