Today was quiet… very contained…
We sailed along the Strait of Magellan, and other channels, then up to the Amalia Glacier… then back out to the Pacific…
It was various shades of grey most of the day… It snowed a bit this morning… the fog closed in, the fog receded… It rained sideways, so that appeared to be foggy… 3:30… Rivers of ice, meeting then falling into the sea…
We rose, we ate, we napped, we watched the scenery pass, we ate again… napped again… life at sea…
Late in the evening the winds rose… to 70 knots… gale force… The ship listed to Starboard… things started to roll off tables… We finally reached the Pacific and rough sea about 10:30 pm… the captain had announced that we should check for loose objects… In the gift shop they laid bottles on the floor and started to tape things down…
We expect an exciting night…
