Day 44 - at Sea


Saturday 22nd Feb 2020

The Magellan Strait a navigable sea route in southern Chile separating mainland South America to the north and Tierra del Fuego to the south. The strait is the most important natural passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.  



Overnight returned north through the Atlantic and later entered the Magellan Strait.  Magellan discovery of and first entry into the Straits on 1st November 1520, this now being almost the 500th anniversary.

Sorry not much to report today.  We did manage to spot a couple of Commersons Dolphins, a local speciality, it being a white bodied species with black head fin and tail, very brief views, no photo opportunity.
