ready to launch

By the end of February 2017, our voyage planning was finally complete. Paperwork and permits for the Falklands were in order, all systems - rigging, sails, electronics, engine, charging systems, fuel, provisioning, water, safety - were checked. Our bottom was cleaned, route was planned and we had been obsessively watching the weather.

The plan was to sail non-stop from Ushuaia to Punta del Este for our first shake-down outside of the protection of the channels. Anasazi Girl & our crew were ready.

afsyn treehouse

Though the neighboring two cities of Puerto Williams and Ushuaia are just a stone's throw away from each other across the Beagle Channel, the differenc between the two places is like night & day. Luckily AFSyN has a great green-space and backyard playground away from the bustle of the big city. The kids miss their Yaghan tree fort on Isla Navarino, but are excited nonetheless for a more traditional urban treehouse that is tucked between AFSyN and the Aeroclub Argentina.

Anasazi Girl on the dock at AFSyN. This is after a mass-exodus of expedition boats to the channels & Antarctica. Usually we are on the outside of five boats side-tied along both sides of the dock. Super nice to not do the flotilla shuffle, even if just for one day. Port of Ushuaia, Provincia de Tierra del Fuego - ARGENTINA. (febrero de 2017)
