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.
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…

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.
