Puerto Gala

Well, we made it to Gala and back, thought I'd give everyone and idea of what the trip was like:
Drove the 3 hours to Cisnes, ferry was supposed to arrive 11PM.
Ferry arrived at 5AM.
Trip was very slow, the old ferry just makes 8 knots.  We arrived at Gala around 11AM
We went to Leos's family's house.  They were very welcoming and showed us to our room.  We didn't rest although we very all pretty tired.  You can't really sleep on that ferry.

We walked (half mile or so) to town on the new boardwalk system.  Pretty steep in places but you don't have to take a boat everywhere now.  While in town we invited several people to an service that evening.



There ended up being some 10 people in attendance and most of them accepted the Lord as savior!



Next day I went out with Abraham to check his fishing lines.  Catch was poor and even more frustrating was the sea lions took more than half of what he did catch.

Ferry was supposed to arrive 10Pm, it arrived at 9Pm.  We jumped on and arrived back in Cisnes 2:30AM.  Took Leo and family home and got on the road around 3AM.  Arrived home 6AM.
