Sailing with a Vancouver 28

Day Sail

With a crew of five on board we set off for a day sail down to Buenos Aires. It was a lovely winters day with a light following breeze.

We had planned to spend the night in the marina at Puerto Madero. They said they were full. Later, around 22:00 we counted 12 empty berths so they were not full at all.

This was no real problem apart from the fact that with a malfunctioning Eberspacher we had no heat aboard with an overnight temperature around zero.
