Great days ride winds & all

After trying to make an early start, one member of the crew gets up an hour earlier than the rest but we still have to wait while packs his bike with colour coded bungi cords. Ride started with a breeze which turn into a full blown gale, the riding pattern has formed, first Tony in front because of his GPS, then Marco, Stan & me bring up the rear as the sweeper, to pick up if any thing had to fall off anybody s bike. At the back you get to watch how the others ride, Tony seems to do a lot of fiddling on his GPS, Marco just keeps a steady pace, then we have "Stantheman" well from the back it seems as if he is wearing yellow water-wings on his arms (big yellow bag across back seat of his bike) then you see a bit of his back and a silver helmet which is in line with the tops of  his two rear view mirrors, reason being that  he cut a big piece of foam out of his seat to lower his body, so his feet can touch the ground. Carried on to our first border crossing from Argentina to Chile. Argentina side took 3 hours & Chile side 2 hours and we also had a 2 hour wait for the ferry. Our bikes were rocking from the force of the wind, had to put on the center stand to stop from falling over, saw Tony hiding away from the wind on the side of a bakkie, so joined him. Heard a houter , look up only to see Stan & Marco had been invited into the back of a Fortuner  bakkie and drinking beer as well. After a long wait the ferry arrived and we rode onto it for the   crossing  over to Delfuego island, so we left the ferry we saw a huge storm coming, stop and put on our rain suits,  only to find 5km's down the road a great hotel, with good food and warm beds.
Left early to tackle the last 430km's to Ushuaia, nice ride, still lots of wind, 2 border crossing which meant smoothly, arrived in Ushuaia and found a hostel, great place.
