Beautiful night to wander around in a beautiful town. Explored the town a little bit tonight but planning on exploring a lot more tomorrow.
PATAGONIA!
We finally made landfall at Puerto Madryn, Argentina. Now a day to explore the town. And hopefully get a wifi so I can get all these messages out. 😁
Whales!
If you have ever had to negotiate your car or motorcycle through a herd of cows or sheep on the road, you can imagine what we are going through right now. We are crawling as slow as possible to avoid injuring a whale. They are thick in this port! These are Southern Right Whales and are very slow moving. They can't get out of the way in time if we go any faster. It's taking hours to get across this area to arrive at Puerto Madryn.
Map of excursion
Here is the map of where we expect to travel. It all depends on the weather and sea conditions though. Passing through the Drake Passage and the Cape Horn area will be the most exciting as the seas can be treacherous in those areas. We will see.....

Finally met up with the Norwegian expedition ship that will take us brave soles into the worlds most treacherous waters. Here we learn how to put on our survival suits. Very stylish I would add. After heading out from Montevideo, Uruguay, we met the captain and the expedition team. Our first port of call will be Puerto Madryn, Argentina.

At the rate the smoked reindeer is consumed around here, Santa had better be getting concerned.
