[status] Anchored in Estero Pailad, a most beautiful creek on the Island of Chiloe. Sailed here today from Anihue Island where we had weathered a gale yesterday. Great sail with cold squally winds from the west mainly 20 kts but up to 30 occasionally. Enjoyed tacking up the straight between Chiloe and Isla Tranqui in the company of Aleko, on a Nicholson 32, Beduin, a single hander who we met in Puerto Montt and who is heading back to Europe via the Beagle Channel.

The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.
