Wednesday January 14th: We decided to drive straight to Puerto Madryn today, a 286-mile trip. Despite very strong headwinds that had the Chummy reduced to a top speed of less than 20 mph in second gear at times, it was a successful day of driving. For the last half an hour of the drive as we approached Puerto Madryn, we drove through sand storms that had us driving like bandits - bandanas covering our noses and mouths. We washed away the sand with a refreshing cold beverage and settled in for the night.
Tomorrow is a rest day. We'll maintain the cars and do some laundry.

Hey . . Just a short note to let you know that I'm following your journey. While you have heat there, much of the U.S. is in the grip of freezing temps. Yesterday am, the temp in ND was -33! The next few days on the OBX will be in the 30s in the day and lows in the 20s. So, enjoy the warm temps there!

Am loving reading all about the trip. Wish I was there. Still very cold and wet here. Winter draws on!
