[status] Still anchored in Ensenada Baja, Chacabuco. We are now getting used to more typical Patagonian weather with fronts passing approximately every 24 hours. The wind howls and we get heavy rain for a few hours, then, as the front passes, glimpses of blue sky amongst heavy clouds which come with big rain squalls and wind up in the 30+ knots. The frequency of the squalls decreases and then all goes quiet for a while before it all starts again. The boat cavorts about her anchor occasionally healing quite dramatically.
