SORRY COUNDN'T SEND THIS LAST NIGHT SATELLITE PROBLEMS

22/3/08  8:00 AM

So we’re up for an early start and are completely fogged in.  Nick collects 10 loaves of long life bread which we’d ordered yesterday and the woman tells him that it’s the first time she’s seen fog here in 2 years.   No wind.  No rain.

Its Easter weekend and all the locals have disappeared.

12:00 Noon

At 11:00 we slip out into the fog at 5 knots retracing our track on the way in.  By Noon the fog has nearly lifted and we are able to motor at full speed.

19:00

As it’s not raining and we had a beautiful leg after the fog lifted we decided to take a 15 mile detour to Seno Iceberg. (Seno means Sound) to visit the last tidewater glacier on route.  It is an active glacier and the boom of the calving can be heard every few minutes. It is a huge, a very majestic sight, called Campo de Hielo or Hielo Continental Sur.  We are anchored at the foot of a waterfall out of the path of the ice.

Today’s pictures include a local Puerto Eden Taxi driver, who wanted to be paid with a pen, and a few shots from our foggy exit. Towards the end you can see Nik and Steve climbing up a big rock to take the last picture, and oh Nik thought he saw a white rainbow.
