[status] Still anchored in Caleta Saudade. We've had squally weather and really heavy rain, so we are very pleased to have the protection this snug cove. Ithaka lies with each side of her 7m away from the shore and in 4m of water. We are 7 miles from an anchorage on the south side of Isla Clemente and to the open water of Bahia Anna Pink. We agreed a week ago when we last parted company with Aleko, the single handed sailor, to meet at this anchorage. The aim is to make our way south together, across the infamous Gulfo de Penas, which has been having winds of 40-80 knots this week. At 4pm the storm abated, and we were tempted to make a break for it to join Aleko, but we both agreed it would be foolhardy to set off this late in the day. From the Grib and Chile Armada weather reports, it seems we may be here for at least another day, maybe more. In the meantime, one job is leading to another....
