Woke up this morning expecting to be anchored outside Chacabuco. The ships engines had stopped.
I threw open the curtains and was greeted with this view:
Then an announcement: There had been an incident in the channel ahead and there were sightings of dropped fishing gear, nets and cables. It could be serious if this tangles in our propeller, so we needed to wait for the way to be cleared before approaching the port.
About an hour later we had the news that we couldn’t wait any longer so our visit was cancelled. Instead we would proceed to Punta Arenas in the Magellan Straits, and stay overnight there.
The day that followed brought amazing views as we meandered through the fjords and islands, but we were now on our way south towards Punta Arenus.
