Cruising the Strait of Magellan

Sort of a day at sea but mostly back tracking up the Beagle Channel to the Strait of Magellan where we chuck a leftie and head out to the Pacific Ocean.

The mountains and fjords off the strait are unbelievable to flatlands like us west Aussies. Froze my buns off looking and getting pix on deck while the weather held. Have given up now as it is raining with the occasional snowflake (not me!).

The good news is that the winds are well up and likely to get worse as we enter the Pacific. What bill called it that! The better news is that we will sneak up the coast to another fjord and start the trip to the glacier. Scheduled to arrive 6:30am tomoz.

Now for some pictures. If you don't like snow and mountains, look away now!Read more
