Our first return port at Marina del Sur Puerto Montt. Shore  power and lines to a pontoon with all the water we could use. Return to the Mall, shops of the world and white sliced bread full of preservatives.

The Puerto Montt Navy Armada Regatta was upon us, mainly big boats, Rodrigus Rochas at Marina del Sur prepared a single handed race sail boat for little Morgause. 

Invited aboard the 500 ton ship PSG Micalvi to watch the event from the luxury of the control bridge. Splendid fun and a tremendous Navy lunch. 

Chilean Armada Navy Captain, Pablo Muller Contreras presented his international entrant with a special bound history book of the Chilean Armada Navy, what a prize! 

No sooner had we recovered the excitement of the regatta than it was time for the City marathon.  Three kilometres for the family run. A hundred miles of energy later we crossed the line GBR heroes like you do for orange juice and cereal bars. None of the Chelmorton Chase bacon sandwiches here.

Some maintainance in the city, injectors cleaned, oils changed and pipes and filters afresh. Fuel pump brand new. Shopping in the Mall, life of the City, old friends and new to find. a retrun to the Guia Scout groups of Imaculate Conception, San Javier and San Fransico des Asis. Time with the English students at University San Sebastian. Then end of term school to celebrate the souther hemisphere year end with so many chums we could have been local.

Moments to touch the sole with the sisters of the convent of the Carmelites. Special prayers fro the trip south, friends and friendship around the World.
