Feb 17 - 20 Chilean Fjords

 We first stopped in Puerto Chacabuco on the 17th.  We had been here in 2020 and taken the tour to the only place of interest, so we stayed aboard.

Mostly cloudy skies with thick fog at times. Couldn't even see the fjords at times.

Farm fishing at Puerto Chacabuco.
We had company in the harbor, Norwegian Sun.

This was a tender port, so the two ships tenders appear to be in a race to the dock. Marina is losing.



A rare burst of sunlight at dawn going to Laguna San Rafael.



Our buddy Paulo was a waiter on our 2016 Around The World cruise. He's now a barista at the coffee shop on Marina. C visits daily for her breakfast Americano.
At Laguna San Rafael a local boat picks you up and takes you around these glacial moraines to see the glacier several miles up the fjord.  We did this in 2020 and assumed that the glacier wouldn't be bigger this year. And, luckily, we had sunshine in 2020.
