We
were up early this morning. The ship had moved down one of the many
fiords in Chile to arrive at the Amalia Glacier for our allotted? 1
hour of viewing. The temperature was about 0 (32F) and as expected
the wind was blowing. Having been up close and personal with the
Alaskan glaciers, we were not as awestruck as we might have been.
Although we were out on deck, we could have stayed in our cabin as
the Captain was nice enough to turn the ship so we could see the
glacier from our cabin. The posted pictures should give you a sense
of what it really was like. You can see that we needed to be bundled
up today. Fortunately when we are in port the temperature is suppose
to be between 50-60F.

The
ship turned around and sailed for a good part of the day north around 1 when we headed to the open ocean for a few hours before we headed into the Magellan channel and on to our next port. We basically retraced our steps out of the fiord. The weather remained rainy and overcast
Today
being a sea day, Zomba was the first activity of the day. Today's
session ran for a full hour. The instructors does 3 levels for each
song. Level 3 is a bit much but it is getting easier for me now that
I have “mastered” some of the moves. He uses the same music
every day so that helps with the routines. The lounge was full of
people, more than we have seen in the past. Line dancing followed
that and as expected is was basic but gave a chance to move around a
bit. Judy went to Spanish class and after 3 classes she can say
“HOLA”.
We
did attend another excellent lecture on the Southern Continent

of the oceans of the area. We have not see much
wildlife except for a few birds which could possibly be Albatross.
We did miss the Country Night because the timing conflicted with our
dinner. In port and going to the top of a ski lift tomorrow.
