We were forewarned that Puerto Madryn maybe a bit iffy. Under blue skies, the city looked calm and welcoming but the offshore winds and ocean swells told a different story. To make it look like they were at least trying, we made the 2 hour sailing up into the bay, made a 360 and sailed back out following the recommendation of the local pilot....Oh Oh.... someone didn't get the email... As it is a greater risk that we wouldn't make the Falklands it was decided that our pilots for the Cape and the fjords would join us in Puerto Madryn. Oops back we go... well what else is there to do when you have a whole day up your sleeve.... Like a child poking it's tongue out, once more the city teased us "Ha Ha ….. look what you are missing out on"
Once the pilots were safely transferred from their boat we were again heading out to sea with our fingers and toes crossed that we would make it into Stanley.
