Strait of Magellan Cruising ~ 2/25/09









There were rumors flying today as to why we did not sail on time last night ~ the ship said high gale force winds but the sea was so calm ~ others said 2 ambulances arrived =1030pm and took 2 people on stretchers away. We sailed soon thereafter over calm seas but not soon enough to get us to Punta Arenas on time.

The sun rose today on a very beautiful crisp day. A flat sea, majestic snow covered mountains looking much like iridescent transparent glass & fingers of puffy white clouds painted on a gorgeous blue sky.

We had planned to tender in & go with Les & Joyce, Marilyn & Steve, Mike & Linda, Ruth & Carlos Galindo our tour guide on the Punta Arenas ~
“Otway Sound Penguin Rookery Tour”
Email: galindotour@hotmail.com ~ but we did not get the pleasure this time around.

Instead we cruised through the Straits of Magellan & the Beagle Channel & saw majestic beauty including the Cross of the Seas ~ see pictures.
