Passing through canals: Thursday – Feb 15, 2007
It was a bit foggy today but later the sun came out. The plan is to go west on the Beagle Channel and then down Canal Pomar and then down Canal Ballenero and then Paso Brecknock to Peninsula Brecknock to Canal Cockburn to the Canal Magdalena. The water was smooth and we just kept moving along. We saw lots of albatross birds in this area and the views are magnificent. We anchored with two lines to the shore in a fjord off Isla Brecknock and were surrounded by rock and green bushes and trees and I felt like we were the first people who had ever been there. Phil and Toby went for a walk up the rocks andmountsins and reported that there was a lake on the other side we couldn’t see from where we were anchored. We congratulated them on getting back before dark–and on the same day!
