Puerto Madero

First up was a visit to Retiro Bus station to book a coach to Santago de Chile where we plan to spend new year. We chose Cata International Royal Suite service. Our coach leaves Retiro at 20:30 and we should be in Santiago by around 16:00 the following day. Price Arg$650 per person, return.
Then a visit to the Prefectura to checkin. Again, matters were a bit confused. I gathered that I had all the correct documents but presented them with the wrong form. I think the fact that we are a foreign vessel on a domestic voyage is what is causing some confusion.
Back to Puerto Madero where I had been allocated a new berth C30 and needed to shift. Easy peasy. Kiriwina's gelcoat badly needs polishing and waxing. I noticed a couple at work on an adjacent boat and got an uppish quote of Arg$1,800 (about £280) which is more than I paid in Devon before leaving.
