Ask anyone down here, and they'll tell you it's all but impossible to get anything shipped internationally to Ushuaia. Parts shipped to Argentina disappear in the dark expanses of Customs warehouses for weeks or months on end, and sometimes never emerge again. Chilean officials keep much better track of things, but are less willing than Argentina to allow 'yachts in transit' to import parts duty-free, so customs must often be paid to get a package released from Santiago. From there, bulky items are sent by air freight to Punta Arenas and then physically transferred by someone to the ferry that comes to Puerto Williams.

Most cruising is a series of wonderful emotional high's followed by horrible depressing lows, with hopefully the highs far outweighing the lows; Winter in the Beagle is this in spades - with higher highs and lower lows.

It's a bright clear day today but the forecast is for some breeze: Thu, 29 May 2008 10:54:00 -0500 http://www.sailblogs.com/member/bethandevansblog?xjMsgID=57699
