Rio Grande to Punta del Este - Day 4
20/03/13 22:38 Filed in: Uruguay | On Passage
Conditions remained stable from midnight and the sea and swell eased as we closed the coast of Uruguay.
It was a sleigh ride down to Punta del Este where we rounded Bajo del Este buoy at 06:07. At 07:00 we were all fast on Buoy #526 at Punta del Este.
Distance from Rio Grande, 256.8 miles. Average speed 3.88 knots.
The weather then deteriorated with frequent squalls and heavy rain at times.
Outer breakwater at Punta Del Este.
Only a few outer buoys remained vacant.
We decided not to go ashore and had a good sleep. Later we ate our fresh Swordfish steaks. Very nice.
