Uruguay and Argentina

Every four years the sailing fraternity, Brotherhood of the Coast(BOC), gathers for a World Zafarancho. This year it was in Argentina and Uruguay. We really enjoyed catching up with old firends and meeting new ones. So we hauled Liward out of the water for a new bottom paint and safe keeping. We flew to Florida for a few days, visiting family and friends and buying way too much at the boat store! Then on the Uruguay for five days to start the Brotherhood fun. In Uruguay we toured Montevideo, ate beef, visited Puente del Este, and walked the old town of Colonia, Then we took the ferry across to Buenos Aires, Argentina (Bs As for short). In Argentina we ate more beef, visted a ranch for Polo and Gaucho events, saw an incredible outdoor opera with horses and folk perfomers, took a boat ride in Tigre, shopped for leather, and went to the Tango. We had an absolutely fantastic trip. We stayed on a few extra days in Bs As after the event and really got to know the city. It was hard to pick a few pictures but here`s a selection. And thanks to the friends who provided some outstanding pictures to include! Now we are back on the boat and working hard to get her back in the water very shortly!
