[status] Caleta Emilita, N Coast of Canal O'Brien, Isla O'Brien
Nice sail this morning, hard on the wind for the first couple of hours after leaving Isla del Medio. 20-25 knots from the south.....cold, with sunny periods and occasional snow showers. The light on the freshly snow-sprinkled mountains was beautiful, the wind and snow, biting into your face, made you feel really alive, and as we turned west into Canal O'Brien the wind softened as it went aft, and we toasted ourselves with cups of hot cocoa and fruit cake.
Ana and I hiked up the mountain behind the caleta this afternoon. Again the amazing light, and the snow and rain blowing in from the Southern Ocean. It reminded us of another mountain on remote St. Kilda, west of the Hebrides, where we first kissed, a long, long time ago......and I noticed she was wearing the same Helly Hansen waterproofs. They made 'em tough in those days.
