Today I made a last visit to the Prefectura, to get my Argentine exit stamp, and to say good bye to Juliet and the boss Hector Vera. They presented me with a Prefectura hat! I’m now an honorable member…thanks for all your help and escort! See you (the Prefectura) in Buenos Aires again – 10th of May 2014…!
The Chilean immigration officer is notified to see me tomorrow 9 am in Puerto Navarino for the Chile entry stamp again.
Then it was shopping time…a full trolley for me (one person, about three weeks…) and two trolleys for Atilio and his crew member Martin (6 persons, one week) for sailing the “KSAR” on another trip around Cape Horn.
Atilio himself was a keen kayaker paddling around Cape Horn and lots of other places himself 20 years ago…now he is “retired”, and sailing the same places!
Not much else to be done than packing the food, last organizing things here and there, some phone calls to my family and managers at home…and a long chat with Atilio about the 2-hours phone call he had last night with Juan Pablo…maybe I’m able to write tonight some extra blog entry about those first hand informations about the accident. Just facts, no judging.
Dinner time now! Thanks to Atilio and Eva hosting me so nicely!

Yeah I would love to know little more too. Some reports said Ale had some health problems but either last 2 weeks were crazy around the Cape Horn. Winds, seas, remember yourself trying to get to shore and being pushed of shore. I hope his family can find some peace. RIP Alejandro!!
To go with that hat, you’ll need two light blue vertical stripes angling down on your forward hull: one wide & one thin, with white crossed anchors on the wide stripe. Then your Epic will be a proper Prefectura craft, just like the “big guys”! It’ll be the perfect decoration for when you next enter Argentine waters.
Hope we get to see you in the new hat! Looking forward to your further adventures.
