This book originated with Charmain Bibby OCC who offered notes of her 2003 cruise of Argentina to the Pilotage Foundation. This formed the first edition of a web pilot & augmented the earlier hard copy books of the South Atlantic Circuit & Havens & Anchorages published under the Pilotage Foundation. This current edition contains considerably more information, especially in southern Patagonia, & builds upon the original notes with the addition of information gathered by co-ordinating author Andy O’ Grady, Ulla Norlander & Pete Hill. They have written this work to help those who follow in their wake & the Pilotage Foundation is grateful for their selfless contribution & attention to detail. Without it, publications of this type could not take place. This new book would not have happened without the initiative & lead authorship of Andy O’ Grady. Magellan’s Strait divides Patagonia from Tierra del Fuego. Sailors considering entering the Strait should refer to Chapter 8 of Andy O’ Grady’s book Chile (RCCPF/ Imray) but should also be aware of the author’s comments at the start of chapter 6 to this book. ...

Argentina

From the Iguazu Falls to Tierra del Fuego, from the boundless pampas to the rivers of Mesopotamia, Argentina is full of surprises. A young land, it has lost none of its taste for adventure and discovery. Buenos Aires is the most European capital in South America, symbolizing great expectations and profound change. Its people, the product of mass, disorganized immigration, found fresh enthusiasm, becoming masters of their own fate and fortune. Argentina is amazing peaks, crystal-clear lakes, forests of larch and monkey-puzzle trees, eternal glaciers: nature, proud and solitary, is still only partially tamed by man. Oceans, beaches, rivers, prairies and plains in abundance, inhabited by cattle, horses and sheep, as well as such animals as the nandu, penguin, elephant
seal, condor, guanaco and deer. What remains of the ancient pre-colonial civilizations merges with the distant echoes of Art Nouveau or Deco, and the ruins of the Jesuit missions stand alongside baroque Spanish churches.Descendants of the gauchos still ride across immense plains, home to prosperous estancias that bear the curse of solitude; the legendary herdsmen and the melancholic, unsettling national dance, the tango, are the soul of this strong and generous country that continues to ask itself questions and to dream of a future of boundless promise.
