ABSTRACT

Despite the aforementioned advice from Piloto Moraleda, since the weather outlook was exceedingly favourable and the tide to our advantage until eight-thirty in the evening, I felt compelled to get under way and head out once more and, if necessary, to come about in the stretch of sea between Los Farallones and Punta de Cocotuya. In any case, since the weather seemed fine, there would be no inconvenience in dropping anchor anywhere and continuing on our way with the sea breeze the following morning.
