Hello there everyone,
So the last time I wrote (a few days ago), I said we would be getting into Chile and then on into Antarctica. Well we are getting closer to the “Lady in White,” as they call Antarctica. We left Santiago, Chile today. Our changeover is officially complete and now it is up to us, the cast to maintain the shows. I don’t think there will be any problems. Now we have to get ready for Christmas. Kristen and I bought Christmas lights and tree decorations for her cabin today. We even got a gold snowflake decoration that we are using as the tree topper for free. Got to love that.
Well a couple days have passed since I wrote that first paragraph. Today we were in Puerto Montt, Chile. I had to stay on the ship due to IPM (In Port Manning) but that’s okay. We come back here a coupe more times so it is okay. Not knowing what to expect here I was surprised to see a department store and a McDonalds. There is a tiny mall here within walking distance so that’s good to know for the future. The weather here is pretty nice. The temperature is about 60 degrees and there were some clouds in the sky but sunny for the whole day. Behind the town you can see a Volcano...the name I do not know but it rises into the sky with clouds around its top creating a very pretty picture. I was unable to get a picture so hopefully when we return we have the same weather and I will be able to photograph it.
For the next two days we will be scenic cruising through the Darwin Channel, The Chilean Fjords, and then Amalia Glacier and Canal. It will be good to see some gorgeous scenery kind of like what we would see in Alaska but totally different. Again I will get some great pictures.
As for the shows we had our first production show last night on our own. We did “Love Songs from Broadway.” It went pretty smooth except for the rockiness from the pretty nice swells occurring outside in the ocean. It was the rockiest we have seen since boarding the ship. Even though it wasn’t too bad it is a sample of what it will be like as we continue around Cape Horn and into Antarctica. Some of the worst waters are in this area so it shall be interesting. Prepare for some lovely accounts of this is the near future. As well as Pictures and hopefully some nice video as well.
As for now, take care and write me when you get a chance. Hope all is well.
Danny
