Another strong-wind day on the Patagonian plains !

It would be an understatement, I think, to say that Jamie and I get a little affected - and even perhaps tired - of the constant howing wind...

The tents trying to fly away, the equiptment succeding in flying away, fine dust in shoes, clothes, tent, ears and mouth; a low sort of deafness from the daily 3-6 h. of running w.its loud whisteling in the ears.

Its now been almost 3 weeks of running through the Patagonian part of South America; and we still have our first non-windy day to look fwd. to !

But Patagonia is known exactly for its roaring winds & storms - so I guess we get to experience its true nature in full scale, and who can complain about that :- )
