[status] Anchored in Estero Huildad just north of Perto Quellon on Isla Chiloe. Short sail today, well, mainly a motor as the wind was fitful. Explored the little settlement in Pailad this morning before we left. A school, a large Gymnasium, a beautiful wooden church but no people. It was rather like the Marie Celeste. Lots of birds though including black necked swans with cygnets. The island is largely forested here reminding us very much of the New Zealand bush.

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