So sailed away from Rio late Thursday night and headed SW for Montevideo in Uruguay. A mere 1042.6 nautical miles, due to arrive at 7am on Sunday morning (tomorrow).
Here's an interesting thing. As we sail south in the Southern Hemisphere, the days are getting significantly longer by the day - 13 hrs 26 mins yesterday and 13 hrs 55 mins today! We were about 33S and 51W at midday today. The days will get longer until we hit Cape Horn and head north up the coast of South America.
So what did we do today? After my Arts class (!), off to the Golden Lion to watch Andy Murray win his 3rd round match and listen to the Aussie barmen winding up these people who insisted Andy was "British" rather than Scottish. Then the bunfight that was the deck 4 launderette - use someone else's tumble dryer at your peril.
"Only" 24C today and sunny - oh well off for a drink and get ready for dinner...
