Arriving in Punta Arenas felt like stepping into the gateway of the wild, rugged beauty of Patagonia. The city, perched on the edge of the Strait of Magellan, greeted me with its crisp, invigorating air and a panoramic view of vast landscapes stretching towards the horizon. As I strolled through the colorful streets, the blend of historical architecture and modern life created a unique charm that captivated me instantly.




Punta Arenas is more than just a city; it’s a gateway to adventure, a place where history and natural beauty converge to create an unforgettable experience


Sounds like you survived the waves! Were they really big, or was what you were imagining a lot worse?

All the crew members talked about how fortunate we were to have such a good crossing with 12-foot waves. Apparently the last ship’s crossing had 24-foot waves and bad weather. I survived but spent most of the day counting the hours when things would calm down. I did ask if we were going back the same way we came and I was sad to hear it was a yes🤣
So 12 foot waves were hated, but doable, just barely. Not to much to ask God for 12 foot waves on the way back. I’ll get on it!
