Ship's Log:
Papagayo is the local wind here that can breeze up very quickly and can reach strengths of up to 50kts. We had another great sailing day yesterday traveling the 130 miles to Punta Arenas. Only for the last 30 miles were we forced to motor due to light winds. Starting the morning under courses traveling up at 10kts later we set reefed main, fore, jumbo and jib. During the afternoon we went down to reefed main then finished with double reef,fore and jumbo. Again everyone is working so well together and have developed a good understanding of the boat and how it works. Apon arrival our shipping agent greated us and presented the cherished box of mail, which was very warmly received. Our plan is to be here until the 23rd and then move to some quiet beach somewhere to celebrate Christmas.
Observations:
Gusty Papagayo conditions, mainly clear
