It was not uncommon to see rinks, trees and land only 30 yards off the he-am with channels ranging in w idth from 50 - 200 yards wide.

Argentina T JOHN RODGERS turned northward out of the Strait of Magellan and back into the Atlantic Ocean. From this point, every mile steamed took us a little closer to home. The next stop was Bahia Blanca. Argentina, where the pampas meets the sea. The wide open grasslands of this South American ranch country were a sharp contrast to the mountains of Peru and Chile.

The boatswain mates took full advantage of the dry dock opportunity and reported the bilges were drained and lines tested • ' SAT ' . The last supper in Argentina. Gringo gaucho wannabe ' s enjoy superb beef cuisine in one of the many fine restaurants in downtown Bahia Blanca. A burned out grain elevator, aftermath of a not-so-recent grain explosion, greeted JOHN ROGERS at the pier in Bahia Blanca. JO
