It's a ship. It's definitely not a boat. It's a BIG ship.
That was a rather long day, but full of good stuff:
- Charter flight from Santiago (Chile) to Ushuaia (Argentina): more great views of the Andes.
- Short tour of Tierra del Fuego National Park.
- Lunch on a catamaran, cruising along the Beagle Channel.
- Photographed seals, cormorants, mountainous bits of Patagonia.
- Entered asynchronous orbit around Neil Armstrong. Sent probe to the surface, establishing basic contact, but have yet to attempt a landing.
- Realised that cheesy Apollo 11 metaphor may be tricky to sustain for three weeks, but we'll see how we go...
Time for a snifter and a proper night's sleep. Tomorrow: crossing the Drake Passage, where the Atlantic and Pacific meet (and not on good terms) – apparently it can be "a bit wild." We'll see...
