Punta Arenas is a city near the tip of Chile's southernmost Patagonia region. Located on the Strait of Magellan, which connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, it's often used as base for excursions to the surrounding wilderness and Antarctica. The Plaza Muñoz Gamero has a memorial to explorer Ferdinand Magellan, and the Museo Nao Victoria features a replica of one of his galleons.
Today it’s a tender port. Weather not too good this morning, some rain, generally overcast. So, cancelled our plan to go ashore, there not being much to attract us to join the queue to and from town, just enjoyed the quiet ship.
Today a first for us, we went to lunch in the Britannia restaurant, quite surprise it has taken us so long, perhaps we will try it again in a few years.
Weather cleared up later but early last return tender kept us on board.
Soon after 3.30pm we sailed for Puerto Montt, a distance of 1202 nautical miles.
