To every voyage there is a start, a middle and an end, our journey to France
started in Ushuaia with 7,500 miles to travel. Step No 1 is nearly completed
with news that Tierra del Fuego has been covered early with heavy snow,
strong winds and very very wintery.
As we glide up the coast of Mar del Plata the iridescent phosforecence that
wafts off the side of Xplore is more like driving through massive milky
jelly fish, their rims catching the moon light rays over the calm oily
waters.
The passage north has been good, the team, very well balanced, and the
sailing tremendous. The change into shorts and tee shirts came all so fast,
and the change of meals from hearty stews and soups into summer cuisine is
stretching our imaginations after so many months down in the Antarctic
freezer.
We left at the right time, and have made good time, our first pit stop is
Punta del Este on the South east shores of Uruguay, a few days there to dry
out and to prepare for step No.2 will hopefully be relaxed and productive.
