PUERTO NATALES TO PUERTO MONTT (CHILE)
















There are only 3 ways to go up north from the bottom of Argentina, going up the same way we came down, spending 3 days and nights on a bumpy road by bus or taking a ferry through the fjord land of Chile. We chose the last option for a change of scenery. On our first day while we had dinner suddenly all crew members started running on board and the ferry took a sharp 360 degree turn. We heard then that someone went over board. After a few minutes search they turned on route again and announced a false alarm. 10 min later they actually counted all passengers, no one was missing.

The next day wasn't so enjoyable for Phil. He had 2 spoonful of his dinner and went to bed seasick. He wasn't the only one struggling with the rough sea. We could hear people vomiting all night long. Next morning there was an announcement at 7.47am, they spotted killer whales next to the ferry. Phil never has been that quick out of bed that early but he had the pleasure to see one. Unluckily it was also the moment he realized his camera had gone.
