Straits of Magellan
















We left port early this morning before I woke up, which was around 9am. We left Punta Arenas, as well as the Atlantic Ocean and have been traveling throught the Strait of Magellan where we are sheduled to enter the South Pacific around midnight! These island mountain chains are just everywhere. It looks like you are about to enter open ocean and then another mountain peak comes out of the clouds. It's been a pretty surreal experience to say the least. HD tv doesn't have shit on this! It really is hard to describe even with the picutures, I feel like I'm not doing a just job! I've posted a few pics of out travels though the strait. I had to compress them down to practically nothing to be able to upload them so I hope the quality isn't to bad. If it's decent I should be able to keep this up whenever I have something other than water to take a picture of! Hope you enjoy! The ship as been relatively smooth through the strait, but the seas are supposed to be considerably larger once we enter the Pacific. Once we hit that it's pretty much no land for the next 50 days!
