The crew of the 46-foot *Sweet Ruca* navigates the fjords of Patagonia and the coast of Chiloé, Chile, while managing visa renewals and boat maintenance. After departing the San Rafael Glacier, the crew transits the challenging Canal Ninualac, where they previously encountered 40-knot gusts and standing waves, by timing their passage for light winds and favorable currents.8:31 They explore the remote, uncharted waters of Isla Kent, anchoring in a narrow fjord and leaving a commemorative sign.10:02 To address expiring visas, the crew stops in Castro, where one partner takes an eight-hour bus to Bariloche, Argentina, while the other remains at anchor.18:33 During these separations, the remaining crew member joins a local Chilote rally aboard a *Mila Lobo*, a gaff-rigged wooden boat built from local materials.20:18 The journey continues to Dalcahue, Mechuque, and Quemchi, where they engage with local sailing culture and the history of shallow-keel wooden boats designed to rest on the beach during extreme tidal shifts.24:48
