Hollinsclough - Is the World Round?
Thu 31 Dec 2009 20:41
Happy New Year. South of Gulf of Pain, Caleta Point Lay, Island of Little Wellington 48.20.36S 74.33.50W
 
40knt winds for the push to Rapier light house. Recorded 47.6 on our wind dial, Windex registering force 8 all along the north coast of Bay Anna Pink. A new record speed at 15.1knots over ground. Wind with tide and across the swell for roller coaster run. They were monsters on the back door, one pooping to be shure, 190 miles of ground in 23 hours.
 
Another magical anchorage below an enormous waterfall, green allgy around the kelp with a mixture of ocean and fresh mountain water. Wild brown otters in the bay and a French yacht called Savana which we have tied alongside in a sort of six point strap to shore.
 
Will celebrate our time 9pm to coordinate with Blighty and get an early evening. Life on the ocean wave and all. Team fry up for dinner, thats a sailing celebration before a glass of French red with our new neighbours.
