Victualling

Many good pieces of meat, we have in the freezer now. Meat is cheap and good quality. We have also stocked up on vegetables and fruit. Sailing scheduled for Sunday.

Islas Malvinas

All the maps you see here say Islas Malvinas on the islands we call the Falkland Islands. There is like a thorn left about the islands, and you often see texts such as the above.
As for our sailing, we have almost decided to skip the Falkland Islands and sail towards the Mar del Plata, Argentina instead. We need to thaw.

Fuel

Today we filled up with fresh fuel, you have to go with canisters of gas station, so there will be several trips with the rental car, we have also loaded up with gas. Tonight, we booked ourselves on the grill in the club house. We are going to have a real Asado, you should see the sausages and cuts of meat, we have bought.

Ushuaia

We like Ushuaia more and more. Nice weather, lots of cruisers, friendly atmosphere.

Shifting the flag

Having had the Chilean flag up in 5 weeks, we changed the flag yesterday in the middle of the Beagle Channel; it is now time for the Argentine visitor flag. Now we are cleared in to Argentina after all the rules of art and form. One wonders why no one has introduced A4 in South America? All papers are a few inches too long for our folder.

New pictures

We are in Ushuaia, I have found Internet access, a bunch of new photos uploaded:

• Patagonia part 1
• Laguna San Rafael
• Puerto Prefundo
• Patagonia part 2
