Chile - Puerto Williams


Chile – Puerto Williams. 

The  Beagel  Canal forms the border between Argentina and Chile. Two countries that  do not succeed in creating  an especially  good neighborhood.   Formalities and paperwork is unbelievable. 

Villvind has now moved across the Beagel  Canal , 25 nm eastwards to Puerto Williams on the Chilean side of the Canal.  After  visiting - and have filled in documents at the Yacht Club, Capetaneria de Puerto, Imigration, Costums and Agriculture before going  back to the Capetaneria to show them that everything is done and stamps and signatures are  OK ,-  the clearance procedure is completed.   

Our plan now is to return westwards into the clacier area before returning to Puerto Williams and clear out for Cape Town in South Africa  around the 20.January.

We stay now at Micalvi Yacht Club. The marina/ pier is created from  an old armada ship (Micalvi) that is run aground  (on purpose ) and  forms  a very sheltered and good harbour. The club is run by the Armada  and the atmosphere in this cruising hub is very interesting. The first person we met and who  took our lines was Skip Novak in his Pelagic. 
Dag and Svein is now well installed on board and they both are working properly !

 
 
Stay uned.

Dag, Svein and Terje in Villvind !

Hei Terje. Takk for oppdatering på e mail. Går ut fra at naturopplevelsene er
så bra at selv myndigheters byråkrati ikke ødelegger. Du er jo vant med den slags
fra Galapagos og ikke minst Markesas, husker jeg rett. Du er alltid forberedt
på den slags så vel som på den praktiske seiling. Gode forberedelser gir minimale
muligheter for uhell mener jeg min skipper Terje en gang inprentet meg, og det har du ført bevis for stemmer.

Vi har det slett ikke galt på Jeløy heller. Skiturer i strandkanten i lav sol, god gli, lodne trær. Ubeskrivelig vakkert. Traff en blid, som alltid, Berit i Mossemarka søndag. Stadig like sprek!

Martha og jeg ønsker deg en hyggelig og uproblematisk overfart til Afrika!
