Port in Ushuaia...first night on boat 26 Dec 2017

This morning we took all our belongings to the boat where our skipper Peter checked our clothing and advised what we needed to borrow and buy further.
Olga showed us around the yacht.

View from the pilot house, although except for extreme conditions the wheel on deck is used.

We are having a quick lunch break..The last one on land for a while. Peter is buying supplies which will be delivered to the yacht at 7 this evening.
Back at the boat we helped pack all the food and wow, there is a lot. I packed the chocolates and biscuits...enough to last 3 months, even with me on board.

Dinner was with all the crew, past and present at a Chinese restaurant.
