[status] Anchored in Ensenada Baja, Chacabuco. The front with much rain passed overnight. The yellow fishing boat kept dragging his anchor in the strong gusts and finally came to rest alongside Ithaka at 0300. Not much said and luckily his outboard started on the 15th pull and he headed off up wind again. This was the front's final gasp and then all went quiet. Next thing we knew it was broad daylight and the blue sky had returned. We sailed 25 miles inland up Seno Aysen, a broad fjord with high snow covered mountains on either side, reminiscent of Norway and Fjordland in NZ. Now anchored in a broad and totally enclosed lagoon. Went ashore to check in with the Armada(The Chilean Navy monitor every boat that moves) and the girls took a bus into the bustling town of Aysen. They have just returned with plans for a shopping trip tomorrow.
