The second day off…at least yesterday was a bit easier then. I still managed to go shopping last night, but back around 9.30pm I was not able to do anything like food packing…just sleep. Thanks to the Prefectura guy for driving me! So this was the first job for this morning. It always takes over an hour, and makes a pile of rubbish! I am used to have most things in portions zip lock bags, at least the lunch snacks, which is very practical. And I do pre-mix my breakfast – oats with milk powder, sugar, and newest idea adding some Oreo cookies! Tastes nice!

Around 10 am there was a date with a TV crew, and this job took over two hours as well. Also in that time came a lady from the German-Argentinean group in Puerto San Julian, where people are member who have German roots. She was so nice to present me with a ceramic beer mug from Puerto San Julian! Thanks very much!

In the afternoon I was planning to edit some videos and pictures, but there was no laptop which liked to start…so I read a bit, fell asleep, and tried my laptop again – there it came to life after another fifty tries or such! Well, I could spend my time better than trying to start my laptop…I hopefully get my new one eventually in Rio Gallegos.

The Prefectura guys were creative meanwhile to have a bit of a more comfortable transport for the way back to the beach tonight – for my kayak and for me. They had a big empty big metal trailer, which had some ropes from one rail to the next, two mattresses on top, and my kayak travelled gently on the over sized trailer, and I traveled dust free inside the car. Thanks, guys! And going back at night was a bit better than asking you to drive me at 5 am or such…
