    Northern Chile Fjords

    March 17, 2024, South Pacific Ocean ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    Spent the night on a lumpy Pacific Ocean. What fool called it that! Mid afternoon we nipped into the Darwin Channel to cut through to the big Bay, lagoon, whatever to the south of Puerto Montt.
    The channel gets pretty narrow between Isla Luz and Isla Quemada. Similar feel to the southern fjords, but the mountains are not as high, no cascading waterfalls and no snow. The weather is as normal,overcast. There are some snow-capped volcanoes off to the east towards the main range of the Andes, but I can't get a decent photo.
    Day spent reading, veging and taking a few photos. Flat calm at the moment, but expect some Ocean Commotion when we cross the gap that connects the body of water we are in to the ocean. Should be in Puerto Montt in the morning.
