Parked up for a month in Marina Del Sur
while awaiting parts for our autopilot from USA. Safely in the hands of the
British Consul John Kenyon and Marina Manager Rodrigus Rojas. Time for a trip inland to the mighty Volcano Osorno, snow and
chair lifts. Life around Lake LLanahue in the beutiful farmland, meeting the
Lamas.
Chile is celebrating 100 years of Guia Girl Guides,
we found ourselves representing GBR for birthday parties formal and fun. Honored
with the white neckerchief of Chile 100 and a flag blessed at IC. A cathedral
service of celebration, jamboree, games to share, songs to sing and badges to
swop. So many chums in a family of World Wide friends.
School visits to SJ and IC, English lessons abroad
and our own professor teacher Claudio for daily school on board. Readings at the
biblotech library and tours of the Museo for the reality of earthquake history
that flatened the land here back in 1960.
Time on our hands, the boat re stocked full of food
and every maintainance job done, oils injectors & fuel, batteries changed by
Gami, Filtors Montt for the filters, hydraulics serviced by Guzman, Ecosub for
the aqualungs, sails repaired and canopies new.
A blessing by Father Hernan Monardes to see us
away, fit and ready for the Pacific.
