Cruising a J/105 in Patagonia, Chile!
(Castro, Chiloe, Chile)-
The skipper on the delivery was 75 year-old Hernan Baeza. His crew had a
wonderful time on their six-day cruise from Puerto Montt south down the
Pacific coast to Castro, Chiloe- a port on the island archipelago in
Chile’s Patagonia region. They made it in time to sail the Regata de
Castro where Sr Baeza and his sons Martin and Felipe took over and raced
the boat (after removing bimini, table and BBQ, course!). Here’s short
video clip of them enjoying canapes and wine after a long day’s sail.
