[status] Ithaka is on the move again, this time with just Colin and Ana on board and feeling rather quiet. We left Marina la Estancilla, Valdivia, on Friday morning and caught the last of the ebb down the river and out of Bahia Corral. As forecast, there was little wind all through Friday and we motor-sailed along the coast south in warm sunshine. A front came through during Friday night bringing the northerlies (and unfortunately the rain and squalls) we needed to blow us down to the entrance to Canal de Chacao. We slowed down off the entrance to allow the rain to clear and the vis to improve, then turned south to Bahia de Ancud. We hoped to anchor off the town of Ancud but as we turned into the bay we met a 1m chop and 25 - 30 knots so continued west to find more shelter finally anchoring here 3 miles from the town. We had a peaceful night. Now going to see if we can remember how to blow up the dinghy and row ashore. The last time we did this was in New Caledonia a few lifetimes ago!
