Sailing through Patagonia
... of the boat leaving the harbour and starting our adventure. We also had a great and pleasant surprise - there was Noone else in our cabin, Woohooooo! Chris caved and had a beer and it seemed to go down alright. It was a gorgeous, sunny afternoon and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. Dinner was done in shifts, so people in even-numbered cabins went first and we were second. This is because the dining room was a bit smaller than the number ...

... et la randonnée du lendemain s'annonce particulièrement physique, près de 9 heures de marche! Je ne peux pas prendre le risque de ne pas manger! Trois solutions s'offrent donc à moi:
1. Redescendre jusqu'au village (3 heures aller-retour) ce qui est faisable avant la tombée de la nuit. J'ai vu un petit magasin qui devrait encore être ouvert en arrivant.
2. Attendre le retour du premier occupant mais sans être sûr qu'il aura de quoi et de toute ...
