Don't sigh for me, Argentina

34 19.298 S, 058 29.139 W

Sorry I could not resist the pun. Since we have been in Buenos Aires, that song keeps running through my head.

Yesterday the Prefectura arrived on time. One fellow checked all of our documents while the other went below with Rich to check on our PFDs, flares, fire extinguishers, etc. No problemo! Everything was okay. They were nice and polite.

We dropped off the last bit of paperwork with the yacht club and with the help of the lancha, untied our lines and went to the fuel dock. This was the first time in a long time, since Puerto Montt, Chile that we went to a fuel dock. Now we are topped off.

We passed through Canal Honda with no hitches, no running aground, no drama except going against the current for most of the way. Last night we anchored along side Canal Mitre in 5 meters of water. We are thinking of staying here today as well until the winds switch around. It is about 140 nautical miles from here to Montevideo and we will have to follow the channels for most of the way and it does not make sense to have to bash into the wind and the current as the wind drives the current as well.

We have plenty of books to read and boat projects and chores to keep us busy.
