Channel Pics 2
As we pass down the Beagle Channel we start getting into glacier country with waterfalls pouring out of the bottom
We arrive at the spectacular anchorage of Caleta Beaulieu in Seno Pia, overlooked by a magnificent glacier
After Andrew has gone ashore with the ropes to tie us in …
… he heads off to explore the glacier in the inflatable kayak
whilst I, less strenuously, walk a few yards down the beach to take a photo of Mina2
During the night we could hear the glaciers calving and by the morning the water was full of ice, so getting close to the glacier for a closer look was like being back in Antarctica
Andrew is sent ashore to get some ice for the G&T’s. “How big a lump do you want, skipper?” |
