Managed to pick Trinity up from the beach without
any hitches,it was really great and Trinity felt like an extra from an 007
movie.The weather hs been consistently warm whilst we have been cruising these
waters and we have had great fun testing the boat speed.Managed to achieve
12knts with 15-17 kts wind then it died as suddenly as it came and we came to an
abrupt stop as the wind shifted.
We are getting to know the various anchorages quite
well now.Urrutias is good for the wifi connection but very poor holding,so we
tend to stop here for a break and answer our e-mails.
Markets are held in various towns and are not
difficult to get to using the tender,so no problem with fresh
provisions.We have met some interesting
expats who have been very hospitable ,enjoying BBQs on the beach and the
odd game of volley ball when we can get numbers together.
The only downside has been the ever increasing
numbers of Jelly fish around Isla Perdigura which puts Trinty off
swimming.Matt Damon has been seen around these parts as he is filming here on
location for his new movie.
