Archi­pe­la­go de los Cho­nos – 31 March 2018

Good to be in shel­te­red coas­tal waters again! The surf on the outer coast was very impres­si­ve, not a good place to run aground, as count­less ships did trough the cen­tu­ries. We had our bea­rings right and ente­red Bahía Anna Pink (one of tho­se love­ly pla­cen­a­mes again), the ent­rance to a sys­tem of chan­nels through the Archi­pe­la­go de los Cho­nos. The sea got com­ple­te­ly calm during the mor­ning, the water was like a mir­ror again mid-day.

The sun was shi­ning warm­ly and T-shirts and shorts were seen on the sun deck. May­be it was just the impres­si­on under the coin­ci­dence of today’s wea­ther, but ever­y­thing seems to be mil­der than south of the Gol­fo de Penas: the air is warm, the forests are cove­ring the hills up to hig­her alti­tu­des, the land appears green, lush and mild. Nevert­hel­ess, pen­gu­ins are swim­ming around in con­sidera­ble num­bers and fur­ther inland, the­re is one of the big­gest non-polar ice-caps of the Earth. May­be it is real­ly just the wea­ther of today …

Sai­ling in the late evening and during the night, across calm waters and in moon­light, is very atmo­sphe­ric!
