Chilean Fjords

A little cooler today, as we head farther south, and the roof over the pool is closed again. Provides lots of sunshine and warmth for those who are swimming or just relaxing.

It is a little rough on the seas and with the ship moving at 20 knots, the walking outside on deck is jacket weather for most. The sky has some clouds, but no rain today. Most of us spend our time looking our of the ships windows or on one of the decks waiting to enter the Fjords.

MickeyLive's lecture today was to be about the Chilean Fjords, Magellan Strait /Darwin Channel and our next two ports. Did you know that the term, channel refers to being created by nature, and the term canal is refers to man made?

At 3:00 pm in the afternoon, the Captain announced that 'due to an error in the itinerary we would not be able to cruise the Chilean Fjords in the daylight' and still make the ports on the itinerary. Therefore, we are staying out, away from shore and moving at a faster speed. We will still be cruising the MagellanStrait / Drake Channel, tomorrow afternoon.

It was formal dinner tonight, and great to see everyone in their finery, eating lobster and black tiger prawns or prime rib. Before that was a meet the Captain, Senior Officers and guest event, where we had a complimentary cocktail or two.
