[status] Anchored in Puerto Eden
We unofficially changed the name of Caleta Point Ley, where we were anchored last night, to Caleta Leonard Cohen, after we received the sad news of his death this morning. The enclosed caleta has sides of virgin trees, tree ferns and moss, a tumbling waterfall and tame birds and otters. I hope he'd approve.
It's been a long day of motor sailing in light winds. The tops of the nearby mountains have heavy snow, and there has been no sign of man for miles. This evening we arrived in Puerto Eden, which is said to be the wettest and most remote town in the world. It is only accessed by sea. No cars, no planes. It's strange to be back in civilisation again.

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