    Hi Guys

Roisin left this morning and ARA Libertad is leaving at 07:00am tomorow ( Tuesday ), if im bothered i will go down if you want to see her in full sail?

    Being from Galway Steyr I noticed you forgot to mention why the ARA Libertad was in this part of the world.
    Remember it was Foxford man, Admiral William Brown, that founded the Argentine Navy and that was reason they visit the West.
    Very interesting individual, who fought the French, the Spanish, the Brazilians and Uruguay.
    And for extra piece of trivia, there are over 1,200 streets named after him in Argentina.

    Good pics, what camera do you use?

    I am not allowed discuss …
