Mist and fog here.
We are at about 46 degrees south latitude, about the same as at home which is 49 north, but we are in the southern hemisphere. The day here is like a dreary January day at home.
This morning around 5:00 we started to go through the Darwin Channel so I was up. It was dark still, but worse, it was foggy. So that little transit was a wipeout. We then hit the open Pacific at 7:00 again and were there till late afternoon when the captain wanted to get us in the shelters of the channels, fiords and mountains to minimize the affects of the nasty weather that unfortunately he expects us to experience tonight.

Fellette and I bundled up and went for a walk this morning after breakfast. It was not as cold as it appeared but it was still nice to be warm and cozy. Many people are taking advantage of the weather to stay inside and rest, read or generally take it easy. It is rather difficult to walk with comfort or even stand due to the irregular movement of the ship.
I attended two lectures with Jim today, on whales and glaciers. I also took a library book out today as I suspect we may be confined to our cabin the next day or two for two reason: one is to see the lovely fiords and 'Scenic cruising' as they call it, or, the rocking and rolling of the ship.
We three went to the alternate Italian Dining restaurant tonight, Gail has confined herself to their cabin in an all-out attempt to shake of her throat issue.
After we sailed yesterday from Castro, we passed miles and miles of oyster and fish farms, massive, impressive and seemingly endless is how I would describe them.
The view as we took a turn around the deck after the show before heading to bed. The day ended up just fine. Now to tomorrow...
Last night before dark we entered a channel after coming in from the exposed Pacific Ocean. This is some long extinct volcano.
Dinner, sans Gail. Lovely view as we sailed into the sanctuary of some inside passages.
Fellette dressing for our walk. Those $14.00 running shoes are coveted by many female crew and passengers alike.
Much fewer people were walking the decks today and all sorts of strange clothing has appeared on passengers since it cooled off. We are still hopeful of some sunny days before we turn north to warmer climes of course.
Blankets have replaced beach towels for passenger use.
