Can you imagine the captain who doesn’t speak ANY English? This was a case… But he was very nice to me. When I explained that I – the journalist – want to sail with him just today he contacted the head office of the shipping company in Santiago and I got a substantial discount. It is worth to write for the press even if they do not pay much…
It is the expedition ship for less then 100 passengers. I do not kwow why but they will have only 40 pax on this sailing – perhaps because they are unknown outside Chile. We are going for 4 days to the Chilean fiords and glaciers, landings are also expected… No internet onboard, so the next message will be on Friday evening. I am boarding the ship today in the afternoon, expecting the big adventure. Just keep the fingers crossed for the clear weather – Patagonia is unpredictable!
