Colonia to Buenos Aires
Mid morning we approached Colonia. By now we were well inside the Rio de la Plata in brown sediment laden water.
Approaching Colonia yacht harbour.
We picked up a mooring and took a water taxi ashore. Our sole reason for stopping was to clear out of Uruguay and have our passports stamped. This had not been possible in Buceo.
View from our mooring in Colonia.
The main quay at Colonia.
It was a lovely day and Colonia seems a very pretty spot..
Various views from around the town
After getting our passports stamped we cleared out with the Prefectura who are based on what looks like an old WW2 US Navy tug. The Prefectura dog was very athletic.
Then we dropped the mooring and were on our way.
Lots of insects en route.
High speed Buquebus ferry from Colonia to Buenos Aires.
Late afternoon arrival at Puerto Madero in Buenos Aires. The swing bridge is just opening to allow access to Yacht Club Puerto Madero.
Outbound yachts leave first.
We then berthed without any problems.
A tranquil Puerto Madero from the yacht club service launch.
