36. At Sea Along the Beagle Channel


At Sea Along the Beagle Channel        

54F (12C)                     Formal Night

Our destination lecture was now aimed at heading north again; towards Punta Arenas and the Amalia Glaciers. Our ship moved tentatively through the narrow Beagle Channel and thank God for modern navigation, the trip was uneventful.

It must have been some job charting those waters when the first Europeans arrived, just look at the map attached here, all those little islands. The real navigation charts contain even the rocks that jut out; it seems like a total impossibility to pass through some of those narrow rills.

We spent the day goofing off. Carol did her thing at Effy and learned about Alexandrite.
A Duet



The theater show after dinner, was music from the 50’s. Carol knew most of the songs by heart. I think she took some pictures too, but did not use a flash. The theme of the show was Stardust…






The 4 Singers (Background) and 2 of the Dancers



Formal night is always a special treat night at the theater, too. The show was very good; the ships ensemble has some good, talented people. Some of them were very good, I felt for them because they were not used to their full potential.






Standing Ovation - They Were Excellent
