After breakfast we headed to the lake with the intention of renting kayaks. It was a beautiful day and the volcano looked very cool.

We were told to go to another beach where we found a sailboat to rent—yippeee! We reserved the boat for that afternoon and walked back to the hotel to get ready to sail. We bought some empanadas to take on the boat for lunch and changed into our bathing suits.

Back to the sailboat . . . We took boat out and unfortunately there was NO wind. We tried re-rigging the boat but we still were just bobbing. I tried paddling to what looked like a wind line, still just bobbing.

Here’s how far we got from the beach.

Here are the kayakers who were laughing at us because we weren’t moving.

Finally as we were trying to head back in the wind picked up. We ended up really sailing for about an hour. We had a lot of fun. Here is a picture of Captain Rick.

That evening we went out for a beer and a juice. We had dinner at the room and packed up because we needed to leave early to go to Temuco to catch our flight to Santiago.
