Threatening sky north of the Straits of Magellan.

We retreated yesterday in our battle with the winds.  Cycling into a strong SW wind at 8 degrees (C) was challenge enough, but when the sunny day turned into a cold rain we turned back to Rio Gallegos and watched movies on TV all afternoon.  Now we plan our days according to the weather forecast,(which changes often).  Today´s sidewind turned to a tailwind after noon, making today much more pleasant than yesterday, and no rain until the end of the day. Chile controls the Straits of Magellan, so we have to travel 200 km through Chile to get to the Argentine side of Tierra del Fuego.
