Woe betide anyone who has the wrong anchor shackle who sails there.

I follow a YouTube channel called Tupaia.
This is a French couple that left France last year and has been sailing around Patagonia ever since. There is no dialogue, promotion, click on like and subscribe or any other malarkey. They simply go out sailing and the cinematography is out of this world as well as the music. Stunning scenery that I was oblivious of before stumbling across this channel.

Yes my only reference about was Joshua Slocum et al so it’s nice to see what Patagonia actually looks like!

Your anchor shackles (note the use of plural) are a minor consideration (along with a multitude of other considerations) - its where shore lines are king.

I was exaggerating a bit

And he was also at Passchendaele (the Third Battle of Ypres)

Why aren’t you on your boat?.....at the moment (midnight) the wind is gusting at 100 kph.....but it should blow itself out tomorrow.... and hopefully we can spend the next week onboard. It hasn’t been a boaty winter so far

Yes it’s going to be sunny with no rain this weekend so we are going down to the boat to check out things and put the new springs on,but I also have to fix a problem in the rental flat and check out the fincato see it’s not too overgrown ,but looking forward probably in April to sailing if we can get the outboardworking

You have to prioritize....I say to the wife...I’m no longer going to do any chores around the house because I have so much to do on the boat.....and I’m only going to work on the boat when it’s sunny

The plan is to be able to overnight in May.This first few months will be about seeing what we need to do or not do Unfortunately fine weather is essential for looking after the field so there is a conflict already……still it’s nice hanging out on the field,no pressure to do very much at all
