I need an idea for how to get back to UK!!!!

Hey guys,

I am in Argentina at the moment and feeling the serious pinch as far as work is concerned....the thing is, I want to go back home(to the UK) but I spent my return flight money, and saving money on 10 pesos an hour is very hard!!!
I would like to hear any ideas you guys have about how I could get there for free/as little as possible...time is no factor, I am not in a hurry, I heard about working on boats but am not sure where to look or if it is true, and perhaps there is one of you who has done something similar that was successful?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Besos

it's gonna be a LONG time before colin heads back across the atlantic...............a loooooooooooonnnnng time. he's still stuck on the shoals offa north carolina tryin to make it to ponce inlet in florida (my house) his yacht has no mast, no sails, and beloved brother colin and huey can't read charts. they're new at this. they might finally make it down here within the week and from here..........i think ft. lauderdale for the rigging. not really sure. but they'll be laid up here for a spell just to dry out. it's taken them a month from new york. they're like pirates of the caribbean, on a boat without sails. you fill in the blanks.

once he gits her outfitted, it's off along the coast line of central america and panama to cartegena to get some other work done and finally rest.

Douglas still workin it huh? lol

Do you look "good" Finarina? Put in add in the local paper "Classified ads".. You could make a lot of pesos and very quickly!

"PAY ATTENTION! I wonder if that person knows that when we push the FUNNY button, its because we are reading something outrageous, trying to be cynical, derogatory, sarcastic and/or obnoxious!"

the embassy 'free ride' is always an option. but they take your passport until you pay em back.

Thanks for the many and varied thoughts on that guys, what about if I combine a few of them...? Stick an ad in the classifieds, make some fast cash(that English Rose appeal has to be a payout factor, right??) then get discovered, deported AND have my passport confiscated?? perfect! haha
Well, with regards to the boats, when DO they go from here to Europe? I´m thinking of going back in March or so....I like the courier flight idea too...
