Chilean Fjords January 9

We were rocking and rolling last night but it was not as bad as we thought it might be. This morning we were up by 6:30 and in the Crows Nest for the passage through the Darwin Channel of the Chilean Fjords. However, the wind, low clouds, and scattered rain didn't make for much of a passage. It was just layers of grey again. The passage was about 2 hours, after which we were in open ocean for the rest of the day...and that's been rough. Pitching and rolling with the messy seas. With the exception of an hour around lunch when we saw the sun, it's another grey day. With the antihistamines for my cold, I am pretty much sleeping it away today! Tomorrow begins the sights we are hoping to see...the Amalia Glacier and more of the Chilean Fjord country. It is definitely colder outside today...need a jacket on top of a sweater now. Our port verandah location has been wonderful...we are sheltered from the N and W winds that have been blowing. Winds of 40-50 mph all day, barometer 983 (falling), sunset about 10 pm (if we ever see it) and sunrise before 6:30. The only thing they don't tell us is the temp, but I suspect we're in the 40's-50's today.
