Packing

-


One factor I don’t very similar to on this freewheeling life is deadlines. And as curious as I’m concerning the 4 day ferry journey via the fjords of southern Chile sitting round ready for the day we load, which is Monday, is proving to be tedious. 

Layne bought again Tuesday afternoon from Key West loaded with stuff as all the time together with a collapsible barbecue grill some German Overlanders launched us to in Peru…

…a few recent SD recording playing cards  for my digital Panasonic cameras and a brand new sort of compact espresso press known as The Closing Press.


Solidly constructed, simple to scrub and compact which makes it superb for van life however will my persnickety spouse hand over her clumsy Aeropress? This tea drinker watches with keen anticipation and no nice hope. 

For the time being my bachelor life has been turned on its head. Garments are out of the van and within the cabin as Herself organizes her winter wardrobe to face the trials of Patagonia. Rusty handles the chaos together with his typical aplomb. After we have been alone I made tea and plowed via my ebook and he frolicked as an previous canine ought to. He nonetheless does that as baggage of t-shirts and shorts go into the bowels of GANNET2 and lengthy johns and woolen watch caps see the sunshine of day. After we get again up north we should swap again as this go to to chilly locations is solely momentary. Subsequent April we hope to be sunning ourselves on the tropical seashores of Brazil. 

When Layne bought again the very first thing we did was go meals buying. I noticed these frozen sides of lamb hanging within the Jumbo retailer’s meat part in Puerto Varas. I believed that was uncommon sufficient to {photograph}. It’s not the uncooked unrefrigerated road markets of Andean Peru however the sight startled me.  

We can have Monica and Christoph over for Thanksgiving so I’ve been making an attempt to learn up on the myths and realities of the vacation however I’ll say I’ve discovered one more reason to get pleasure from Thanksgiving as the perfect vacation. It retains Christmas at bay. Round right here timber and carols and decorations have proven up in shops for weeks already. Final 12 months we did Thanksgiving in Nicaragua I believe. It’s the perfect time to be house for me however oh effectively. 

Robert was busy gardening and finding out his home on the market. He went me a wave after Layne got here by to see him. We first met crusing within the Bahamas 35 years in the past. I want I had been there however a photograph is the following neatest thing. 

Friday we have now an appointment to put in the alternator elements Layne introduced again from Florida. Then finally we board the ferry on Monday and sail to Puerto Natales 1200 miles south of right here. That must be a change.
