Thanks , Oh yes, it was blowing like 25-30 knots, for windsurfers like us , wind is a blessing ... water and wind were somehow cool

Thanks man , well I know Viña del Mar (its 80 miles form here) , my wife used to have a beachfront appartment there. It's Chile's main port / summer destination also. Nice city but I prefer smaller more adventurous destinations.

If you meant "Gringo" Jan ... ahhahaha don't know him , in a city of 2.000.000 where every outisder is called "Gringo" would be difficult to identify someone...

JP , hope you are well and not so much effected by the quake. I see Santiago was hit quite badly, send us some pics and tell us about the quake of 8.3 on the Richter scale
