Jade navigates the Gulf of Corcovado and the archipelago of the Guaytecas in Patagonia, utilizing the Chilean Hydrographic Service website and the "Blue Bible" cruising guide to time passages with favorable tidal currents.2:57 During a transit toward the San Rafael Glacier, the crew encounters 30- to 40-knot gusts, necessitating a strategy of seeking shelter in caletas and securing the boat with five-point shore moorings.6:15 To manage visa requirements, the crew leaves the boat at a pontoon in Puerto Aguirre and travels by ferry and bus to the Argentinian border for renewal.10:18 Approaching the San Rafael lagoon via the Rio Tempanos, the crew emphasizes the necessity of timing the transit with the rising tide to avoid adverse currents and potential ice hazards.15:02 The passage requires precise tidal calculations, as the local tide times differ by three hours from regional predictions due to glacial water displacement.16:21
