We are only a few miles from Cape Horn, lying in one of the best anchorages I know of. Perfect shelter, very pretty, plenty of wildlife and close to the ocean that we have to cross to arrive in Antarctica. The weather forecast is bad so we must wait patiently for an improvement, though today has been very pleasant with light winds again. We walked up the hill above the anchorage and were inspected very closely by a condor - the first time Leif has seen one - only a few meters away. A pair of dolphins live in the bay and slowly swam around Balaena last night for 20 minutes. There are geese and ducks and kingfishers with their young along the shores. In short - life is good.
Estamos solo unos kilómetros de Cabo de Hornos, en unos de los mejores fondeaderos que conozco. Buen abrigo, hermoso, mucha vida silvestre y cerca del océano que vamos a cruzar para llegar en Antarctica. El pronostico es malo, entonces esperamos con paciencia para mejorando. No obstante, hoy estaba muy agradable con vientos livianos. Caminabamos por la colina encima del fondeadero y nos examinó muy cerca un condor - la primero vez que Leif lo veo un condor - solo unos metros lejos. Una pareja toninas viven en la bahía y anoche lentamente daban vuelta al barco. Hay gansos, patos y martin pescadores, todos con sus polluelos por la playa. Si, la vida es buena.
