My rather bald tyre has dictated that I can´t do the Carreta Austral without the biggish risk of being stranded somewhere along the way. So today instead of heading north back into Argentina after Tierra del Fuego I headed west back to Puerto Natales to try and get a passage on board the ferry.
It was a bit of a race against the clock with over an hour spent at customs, muddy and rain damaged roads, the odd rain storm, trucks going the other way creating clouds of mud.. it was a fun day. I arrived just after 9pm. without a ticket. Boarding time begins at 9 but the boat was late. yesss. I manage to work it out and now I´m off on a boat trip through the Patagonian Fiords up to Puerto Monnt. Can´t complain really.

Hi Bruce,
Happy Easter! You must have a lot of time to reflect on God's riches - the country out there is awe inspiring, from what your pictures show.
Change of plans - we know how flexible you are :) Sit back, relax and enjoy the ferry ride.
Love Bruce, Sarah and Kiera
Hi Bruce
What a great travel(b)log! I've enjoyed every bit of it so far, and look forward to more of your adventures and experiences. There must be many people riding with you - with a mouse if not a motorbike.
Keep up the good work!

Hi Bruce
Thanks for the frequent updates. We're enjoying them very much. Enjoy your trip through the fiords. Sounds idyllic. I could handle some of that. We started to paint the eaves today, but, true to form in NZ, we've a southerly forecasted for tomorrow with lots of rain. So guess what we'll be doing: No eaves! Actually, we're having an Easter Dinner tomorrow evening - why stop at Christmas Dinner when Easter is such a tremendous reason for celebrating! Feel free to stop by!
