The ocean is a big place but the animation is a congested area near Chile about 35x35 miles.
I've never sailed the golf of Ancud but in the summer on Long Island Sound in a sailboat you might have to change course 5-10 times a day or more due to traffic, and there not a lot of it.
If you don't see the informal lanes and you're trying to keep away from boats, you could spend the day taking evasive action.
My location relative to other boats is the top thing on my mind out there.
