Well, that's the first leg of our trip West to
New Zealand tucked under our belts...
After 2 years, we have finally (almost) left Chile.
We arrived here in Bahia Cumberland on Isla Robinson Crusoe at
10am yesterday after 3 1/2 days of "bouncy" sailing covering 479 miles.
This is the bay in which the Germans sunk their Warship "Dresden" in WW1 rather
than letting the Brits have it. It was rather windy here yesterday gusting up to
50 knots so we didn't get off the Boat....
It is a really remote place - Alexander Selkirk
must have really, really hated his Captain to have asked to be dropped off
here....
Just going ashore now to have a walk up to the
Alexander Selkirk "Lookout Point". Not sure what else is here on the Island
following the Tsunami destruction of February 2010 but we shall soon find
out...
