Soft Pacific swell for a clear sky red sunset of southern hemisphere June winter

 

20.00 10/09/2009  41.23.00 S 73.57.00 W

 

Fast tide run through fifteen miles of Canal Chaco into the open Pacific. 12 knts average for two hours for a slingshot into the swell that was soft. Splendid water.

 

Possibly the highest average speed over such distance ever made. Not rough like Aldernay race but full of flat whirl pools.
