How the time flies....
...we are already at the end of March and since September we had logged some 2,100 miles. The last three months we have been surrounded by thick rainforests, snow-capped volcanoes stunning fjords, narrow canals, many, many streams and waterfalls, especially since February has been such a unusually wet month. Shinning ice fields with their bright, light blue color astonished us on the rare sunny day each time we had seen one. Patagonia is also about emptiness, during the whole month of February, we have seen only two other sailing vessels. March brought us much better weather, sun practically every day, so we could enjoy Chiloe region, which is a string of 40 islands with many wooden churches, 16 of which are declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites. We could easily spend here another season and still not cover all the cruising ground that is between Puerto Montt and St. Rafael Glacier. “He who hurries loses his time”, locals say! How right they are...the weather decides all in this part of the world, sometimes harsh but always rewarding. Right now we are back in Puerto Montt, the sun is still shinning, but there is a hint of winter in the air. We still want to go and see few places around here, before we head to Valdivia, where Nikan is going to spend the winter. So what more can we say? Time is running by way too fast...
