Colonia Weekend
CNV Victoria had a weekend rally to Colonia in Uruguay so I decided to go along.
I got under way at 08:00 and by 08:30 I had cleared the Rio Lujan, stopped the engine and was proceeding slowly under main and poled out yankee.
At first it was slow going in light winds but by about 10:30 the wind settled down to NW F3-4.
The argentine boats were all noticeably faster and cleared off into the distance. I think I was the last in after a relaxing uneventful sail across. I was all fast on a visitor buoy by 17:00 having covered some 35.29 miles (GPS track.)
