Buenos Aires to Piriapolis
My surgeon has given me person to sail.
Last night I bought a ticket on Buquebus to Montevideo via Colonia. Sure enough, by using the Uruguay page, I was not charged the Argentine 20% foreign purchase tax.
Rather than risking train or traffic I had a nice trip down from Tigre to Puerto Madero on Sturla Viajes. Very pleasant with coffee and a newspaper thrown in. Their terminal is just minutes from Buquebus.
Buquebus, leaving Buenos Aries at 09:45, was on time to Colonia and Montevideo where I caught an onward bus to Piriapolis within a few minutes.
Arriving back at Kiriwina around 18:00 my correctly prepared rudder was there on the dock. Thanks Laurence.
All was well on board with a completely dry bilge.
