Well the gale continued yesterday so we stayed put in Puerto Mayne, most of the time down below out of the rain.
Today dawned fine, well relatively so. We had a great sail down Canal Sarmiento, then a dogleg through Canal Farquhar into Estrecho Collingwood. The names of these straits, caletas and points are amazing, memorialising (if that's a word) the discovery of Patagonia by Europeans over many, many years.
Now we are tucked up in Caleta Victoria on Isla Hunter, a few metres from Beduin. Tomorrow will be the parting of our ways, Beduin heading on south down Canal Smythe towards Puerto Williams, and Ithaka taking the detour East through Seno Union, towards Puerto Natales. So tonight we will celebrate with Aleko, the safe and enjoyable trip so far, and wish each other fair winds. We hope to meet again further down the track
