position 46:02.46S 57:49.16W.
24hrs of boxing the compass and wind up and down from 4 knots to 15 knots.We can't complain as we are now well into the roaring fourties and approaching the screaming fifties! Weather is still looking ok with 24hrs of strong winds behind us then dropping off for our arrival in Stanley midday Friday. Dave says it wasn't like this when he was in the marines! He is still looking for a cruise ship but seems to have lost track with Stephen who is due to board one in Ushaia. 
Nick after a hard match won the chess tournament with Marcio runner up .Nick had to do the washing up as he lost at Perudo! Three days of meat balls in different recipes brought welcome relief when they ended today.
Dirt in the fuel is a problem which we need to resolve. Maybe some of the meat balls ended up in the fuel tank.
sadly we missed the Orca Whales in Porto Madryn so we are watching the dvd this evening compliments of Hollinsclough
