Southern Adventure

 Hammock Beach, FL and Argentina
January - March 2017

The winter of 2017, we docked at the Marina at Hammock Beach to have new bimini built by Cooper’s Canvas. The project would take several weeks with an uncertain completion date. That ruled out a Bahamas crossing, but using our boat as a floating condo lacked the element of adventure. We’d felt the draw of other kinds of travel, so we broke up the winter with a three-week trip to Argentina. Keith spent countless hours researching and creating the itinerary, and what an unforgettable adventure it was!

A broader view of the immense falls - we couldn't capture it all!

We visited several wineries in Mendoza, and every one was also an art gallery

The cross-country double-decker bus trips were amazing. We reserved the front seats above the driver. Attendants served dinner complete with wine.
