The harbour is open today but there is something very nasty coming tomorrow so we have decided to wait until Friday when there will be a window to get a couple of hundred miles north to a safe anchorage before the next nasty bit comes through.
We will repeat this for another hop North as it is essestial to make a substantial Northing before turning West. We have to be well clear of the Roaring Forties and under the umbrella of the Chilean High. This means we won’t have time to stop at Robinson Crusoe Island which is a pity as the losbter comes highly recommended.
