Day 28 – Chilean Fjords

Drink of the Day – La Bamba

The ship sailed through the Chilean Fjords until lunchtime. By early afternoon we were sailing again in the Pacific Ocean. The fjords were very hilly and green. The vegetation was mostly small, short trees and low growing green plants. It looked similar to the Alaskan Inside Passage except we did not see any animals other than a bird or two.







During the afternoon Jane played Bingo, the first time for this leg, and won $41.00. It was barely to cover the cost of playing but exciting just the same.

During the evening Linda and Jane went to a star gazing session with the First Officer (he is second in command after the captain). Everyone was taken to Deck 12 at the front of the ship. Then the First Officer called the Bridge and had them turn off the lights. It was awesome to see so many stars from the ship. The Southern Cross, which cannot be seen form home, was right overhead.

Tomorrow will be the last sea day before reaching Valparaiso, Chile.
