The last days were filled with a kaleidoscope of events and meetings. \u00a0It was just a week ago, on Sunday, 12 May, I moored at Ushuaia’s yacht club and immediately began preparing the boat for shipment to Europe.<\/p>\n

On May 15 we rolled her into a container to transport her to England for repairs and maintenance. \u00a0Container ships do not go to Europe very often from this southernmost port of the planet, the port of Ushuaia, especially now, when the season is over, and we have to hurry to catch the next available ship. \u00a0The next opportunity would only be available in June.<\/p>\n

On 17 May we arrived in Buenos Aires. \u00a0There were an official reception and press conference organised at the Russian Embassy in Buenos Aires. \u00a0Ambassador Dmitry Feoktistov presented a letter of congratulations from the President of Russia and the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Russian Geographical Society – Vladimir Putin. \u00a0Our diplomats in Argentina organised a warm welcome for us and showed us the city. \u00a0And although Russia is still thousands of kilometres away, we felt like at home.<\/p>\n

On 18 May, the representative office of Rossotrudnichestvo held a meeting with our compatriots living in Argentina. \u00a0It turned out to be a warm-hearted discussion covering various topics. \u00a0A big thank you to the organizers for this opportunity.<\/p>\n
