Cruising the Chiliean Fjords
From January 18th to the 23rd we were cruising the
Chiliean Fjords. We had to skip tender port of
Puerto Chacabuco on the 20th due to rough seas, which would make the port tender operations unsafe. The scenery was amazing and in seemed like we were the only ones cruising these narrow straights getting to see the most beautiful landscapes. I thoroughly enjoyed the pace and comradery shared with fellow passengers every time the captain announced another wildlife or glacier sighting and we all would run outside. We love Captain Val - his announcements are so informative, and he always has a great big smile and heart felt laugh and he ends every day with a profound quote!
I have shared a couple post of my fellow residents who did a better job of catching everything in photos on Facebook. I was too busy enjoying the moments, to capture many of them. Below is a variety of glaciers and a pair of playful dolphins that were having some fun and giving us a show as we drifted along one of the glaciers.

Today we spent on the water. We had signed up for a beach and snorkel trip yesterday and had to move to today because we had tender issues into the port and missed the start time. Today was also looking bleak but the charter waited for us and even sent their tender over to our delayed shuttle and rescued us off so we could join the group waiting for us! It was a fun day, swimming and snorkeling over 4 different beach locations. The water, drinks and sunshine were all great fun!
