Yesterday we did 185 miles in 24 hours. The wind was strong 25 knots from south and we sailed very fast all day and night. Today the wind decreased and at the moment we have 12 knots. Nina and I found our sea legs in our drug cabinet (a seasick table) just after we left. Lucas found his in last night. Anybody has seen Werner's sea legs? I hope we didn't left behind in Valdivia. We are all good, not doing much, just getting used to the sailing again after all the months we using the engine.
The forecast is for light north winds for tomorrow. We are planning to go to Valparaiso to spend some days waiting for a front to pass. At the moment we have 12 knots of wind and our speed is around 5.8 knots. We are at the moment at 36' 05.12S: 074 07.26W and is 20:15 local time.
