We stayed 3 nights in Pt Stanley to get the best weather for this longest passage of the trip. 97 miles through the water between 5AM and 19:45, for an average of 6.6 knots. It was very dark when we left, but there were hints of dawn by 6 and the sun actually broke the horizon at 6:48. We’re back on the same piers at the top of lock 8 to wait for our transit, scheduled for Tuesday.
It was 6C when we left in the morning and despite the lovely sunshine we didn’t peel off layers until late afternoon. The lake temperatures that had been so warm varied from 19 to 21 over the course of the day.
