We spent Saturday night (May 23) in
Caleta Mechuque (42,18S 73,15W). This morning (Sunday, May 24), we
had an early morning stroll through the village and surprised a few
of the early rising locals - I don't think they get many sailboats
there. Tonight, we'll anchor for the last time, off of Isla Llanquin
(41,54S 73,04W). To celebrate, we are having our favorite boat meal:
black bean tacos with Matthew's homemade tortillas.
It is definitely bittersweet to be
finishing the trip. I am looking forward to the next months of work
and family visits, regular showers (!) and access to fresh food, but
it has been a rewarding challenge getting away from many creature
comforts, living very simply, and spending so much time together.
Here's to more adventures like this one! For now, we'll haul-out in
Puerto Montt and get Polo Flat ready to sail back to French Polynesia
next month.
