Technically this was a sea day. The ship traveled through the Straights of Magellan throughout the morning and early afternoon. By 1:00 or so we were finally in Pacific Ocean traveling alongside Chile. Sailing through the Straights cuts at least 350 to 400 miles off the journey when navigating around the southern tip of South America which makes it an important trade route for cargo ships.
Once through the Straights we spent a lot of time going through our penguin photos, making up captions for some of the cuter pictures. By the end of the afternoon we were getting pretty silly. We decided that we should share the fun and give our faithful readers a chance to come up with better captions. Please feel free to post your thoughts.
"Yes Deedee, we may be at the bottom of the world but we are not going to fall off."
"Why is it always me?" "Where did everyone go?"
"Ok men. And a 1, and a 2 - By the light, of the silvery moon......."
As we travel throughout the afternoon and evening the temperature hovered in the 40’s and the wind picked up. The shipped also “rocked and rolled” until the wee hours of the morning. Of course none of this kept our loca persona que toma el sol from taking advantage of even the smallest ray of sun.
Saturday should be a bit calmer as we travel through the Chilean Fjords.
Hi ladies. I noticed no one took a stab at your "improve the captions" challenge so I'll take a shot. From the top:
ReplyDelete"Yes Deedee, every person on this ship has checked to see which way the toilet flushes. But really, it's just an urban legend. It has nothing to do with the earth's rotation."
"What're you guys lookin' at huh? You wanna piece of me?"
"Ok ok, move along people. Nothin to see here. Just a bunch of dumb Yankee tourists with cameras."
Waiting anxiously for the next installment!
I am really enjoying your blog-the pictures are so awsome!! What a fabulous trip!!
