We are currently passing through the Straits of Le Maire, leaving the Atlantic Ocean and entering the Pacific Ocean. Hard to believe that we are finally here. We've had good weather most of the way down the Patagonia coast, though light winds required lots of motoring.
We will soon be entering the Beagle Canal, on our way to Ushuaia, Argentina's claim to the most Southern city in the world. Chile makes the same cliam for the settlement of Puerto Williams.
Now starts a new journey through the Chilean canals north to the city of Puerta Montt, Chile. We do not expect to reach Puerto Montt until June or July 2008.
