Day 10 – Monday 30 January.

4.27 am: The alarm was set for 4 am this morning as we will try to get some miles in before the west wind starts to blow. We are aiming for Punta Moat today. However . . .

12.25 pm: The wind was up early too! We made 10 miles into a strong headwind and then stopped and went ashore, where we saw a ranch and the gauchos who rode past us last night. 
It is cold today and the gauchos kindly invited us into their cosy hut to warm up, which was very nice.
If the white caps on the waves disappear we may continue but, at the moment, it looks like we are here to stay for today.

7.25 pm: The wind increased to 30 knots so there were lots of white caps. We spent the rest of the day trying to talk to the gauchos in broken Spanish, resting and walking along the beach – holding on to our hats!
