Déjà 4 mois au Chili, incroyable.... L ile de Paques, Chiloe, Puerto Montt, et maintenant Valdivia...
Depuis un mois Tonga est amaré tranquillement au Club de Yates de Valdivia. Située dans la région des rivières du Chili, à 900km au sud de Santiago, Valdivia va etre notre pause de cet hiver austral. Tonga a bien besoin d un petit bilan de sante et un petit check up avec notre prochaine navigation de retour vers l Atlantique.
Pour l instant, Eva et Louise vont aller a l ecole locale, et nous allons nous occuper des voiles dechirées ou usées, de l antifouling qui a disparu, des inverseurs qui ne veulent plus faire de marche avant, de notre chaine rouillée, du chandelier arraché lors d une petite colision avec un chalu local; bref de quoi faire, tranquillement, pendant cet hiver, renommé le plus pluvieux du Chili!
Already 4 months in Chile, incredible .... The Easter Island, Chiloe, Puerto Montt, ...
For a month Tonga is moored quietly at the Yates Club of Valdivia. Located in the region of the rivers of Chile, 900km south of Santiago, Valdivia will be our break this winter australis. Tonga needs a little check up with our next return trip back to the Atlantic.
For the moment, Eva and Louise will go to the local school, and we will take care of the worn sails, antifouling that has disappeared, geerbox which do not want to go forward anymore, our rusty chain, and some few welding jobs because of a small collision with a local trawler.... Enough to keep us busy here while enjoying also the local life and meeting new people.
