L'Eau Commotion Westabout

4:00pm Monday 15th January 2018 ( UTC-4 ) Actually 99.9 miles to a point 56 00'S and 67 12.7'W which is about 3 miles South of the lighthouse of Islas Hornos itself. Not that I have any intention of getting this close it's just that if I place a waypoint a fair way off there is always the temptation to cut it fine by going on the wrong side. At about the time Sir Frank ( not his real name ) would have arrived home to his long suffering missus the stiff Sou'Wester long predicted set in with a vengeance so the main was double reefed and just a glimpse of the jib left showing. Though only initially making one knot out of the area named " dangerous overfalls " it was good to be getting clear of that North going Current confirmed by several methods at over three knots. No wonder there were so many shipwrecks in days gone by - I was nearly one of them. Figuratively of course but in the dark night with abrupt wind changes it kept my on my toes, including my big one, which is healing nicely. This Southerly course continued u ntil a late breakfast when the wind veered more to the North West and more sail was set till now in the mid afternoon it is just a gentle breeze more from the North. If the wind takes me that way I may get a photo op of the Horn but if not I can always photo shop one from last time I was by this way.
