Puerto Frances

N10 34,940  W66 03,770    7 m deep in sand

We left 4h30 for Puerto Azul or Puerto Frances.

We were now going against the current and wind. We were doing fine up to Puerto Azul and decided to keep on going. It became squally and some chop in our face. Around 11pm we were approaching PF, but a big rain storm came and we hove to for an hour before we entered.

We stayed 3 days on anchor a mile a way from a popular beach. There are a lot of small restaurants with umbrellas. We enjoyed a couple of seafood meals there. The dingy landing is very interesting. We provided entertainment to a big crowd when we surfed a dumper onto the beach.

We left 2 am for Piritu but only made it 8 Nm to Buchu bay at Caranero due to a huge swell and current coming around the point.
