Navimag Ferry, Puerto Natales to Puerto Montt
Sea ... Sky ... Sea ... Sky ... , that was the view from the side windows of the dining area on the ferry as it pitched and rolled in the Gulf of Penas and the Pacific Ocean on Saturday afternoon and evening. The movement of the large boat was significant causing sea sickness to some passengers. The wind too was very strong gusting up to 50 knots. Unbelievably the rest of the three day trip through the channels and inlets of the rugged southern Chile coastline was very calm, and for most of Sunday we were out on the open deck taking in the views and sun. For the first morning we passed through some very narrow channels. The trip was an excellent way, and probably the only way, to see this part of Chile. We are pleased now though to be on solid ground and stretch our legs after lots of reading and card playing on the boat.
