Puerto Madero to CN Sudoeste
05/03/09 21:30 Filed in: Argentina | San Fernando
Yesterday was a bit of a write off with heavy rain all day. This morning it was cloudy but fine with a relatively high water level. Just perfect for the trip on Cora Mae from YCA to Club Nautico Sudeste.
I cycled up to Beccar station, took the train down to Retiro and cycled round to YCA.
Tortoise on the verge at YCA.
We left just after 10:30.
Schatzi on deck leaving YCA.
MSC Sinfonia in Darsena Norte.
Container ship in Darsena Norte.
Conditions were almost perfect. We motor sailed on a rising tide with a gentle SSW breeze which died about halfway up. Using waypoints given to me at CNV there was rarely less than 3.0 mtres of water. Much more than when I did this trip in January. No doubt helped by the rain yesterday.
Approaching CN Sudeste after about 2.5 hours en route. It was virtually slack water with a very benign approach.
CN Sudeste launch waiting guide us in and assist with berthing.
CN Sudeste has a greater variety of moorings than CN Victoria where Kiriwina is berthed. Cora Mae was placed on visitor moorings in midstream.
Afterwards we went for a walk around San Fernando and San Isidro.
Günter and Schatzi at CN Victoria.
Cathederal and gardens at San Isidro.
Plazoleta Ospispo Aguirre - San Isidro
Colego San Juan El Precursor - San Isidro
Cathederal Tower - San Isidro
Terraced gardens and park leading to San Isidro Station - Tren de La Costa
