[status] currently circling the harbour in Ushuaia waiting for the wind to drop so we can pull along side the dock. We traveled through Glacier Alley this morning and although the low cloud stopped us seeing the peaks we got a good look at all the glaciers. It was not raining then. Passed at least three sail boats in the Beagle Channel going the opposite direction and not enjoying the squalls and head winds. Amazingly they did not have protection in the cockpit but they were from Europe so I guess used to conditions like this. We will wearing as much as possible when we go ashore but we are getting used to single digit temperatures.
Later, the ship finally docked but it will be an interesting exercise getting it off later.
Well wrapped up we wandered around town and finally found an info desk. When we asked when the shops re opened after lunch we were reminded it was Sunday! We took some great photos of sail boats rigged for Tierra Del Fuego which we will post later. We finally found a hotel to change some money and found that my long stored Argentinian notes were no longer valid! There are about 15 Australs to the US dollar so easier to compute than In Chile where there were 670 pesos to the dollar.
