Sailing with a Vancouver 28

Day Sail - Colonia

After three days of violent weather we woke to a mirror calm. After an early breakfast we walked round to the Buquebus terminal where Nancy and Nicola caught the 09:30 ferry to Buenos Aires.

There is some confusion on whether non Mercosur visitors arriving in Uruguay aboard yachts need to clear in with immigration. Today we were told this was necessary and received entry stamps.

Back on board and chatting to Bram from the lovely Dutch yacht Duende when Jordan showed up with his two new friends Nair and Clara. We decided to go out for a day sail.

It was more of a day drift. There was very little wind so we ghosted along the coast for a couple of hours, had lunch on board and motored slowly back.

Jordan and friends went forward leaving the skipper to navigate.

They caught the evening Buquebus back to Buenos Aires while Jordan and I enjoyed some Dutch hospitality on Duende.
