Waiting for better weather

Last week we spend going through the Canal Cockburn (54' 22.8S: 071' 50.9W),and Acwalisian (54' 04.4S: 071' 37.3W) reaching Paso Forward of Magellan Channel. The weather until yesterday was good with not much wind or waves. The highlight was one afternoon that we spend hours looking at two humpback whales. After some time one started to breach and did it several times and less then 100m from us. We are not sure why it did that but we could see from a long way another whales doing the same. I took lots of pictures and I will post them when we get to Puerto Natales. At the moment we are at Caleta Extra (52 58.05'S: 073 27.84'W), not sure we are in the right place because it's very small, like a garage that we need to park on reverse. We have 4 lines on shore to be sure we don't get too close to the rocky walls. Its safe here and there is a little beach at the end of the “cove” but everything is very wet and there is not a good place to go for a walk. We planned to leave today but it was too windy and we decided to spend another night here before going to Canal Smith.
