    Episode 39 just posted, 20 minutes duration. Mostly about the history of Port Famine.
    Staying with Seņor Jose, he regales me with stories of lost trekkers and skulls in the forest. Although freezing cold overnight, the sun came out and after heading south just to see how far I can ride, I turned around a few miles south of the village of San Juan. On the way north I stop at Puerto Hambre, where Sarmiento de Gamboa tried to start a Spanish outpost. Sarmiento witnessed not one but three strange astronomical events in a short period, before his luck (and everyone else's luck) took an extreme turn for the worse. Leaving the monument marking this ill-fated venture I head north intending to cross the border in Argentina before nightfall. But, about 90 minutes outside the town of Punta Arenas, a serious engine failure in my almost-new bike put paid to that plan!
