Friday 27th January- More Chilean Fjords

We awoke to a grey day again which is such a shame as the mountains and islands that we pass by look fantastic.
We had a pretty quiet day on board really just watching the scenery go by but it had been quite rough overnight and so neither of us slept to well.
We did our usual afternoon walk but had to be careful as the ship was moving around quite a bit and as the walking track is on the 9th deck it is moving both front to back and side to side and with the strong wind blowing can be a challenging time.
This ship is what they say “all inclusive” which includes all your food and of course booze but no the internet or spa treatments.  You could eat yourself silly if you wished and I did wonder how they would handle the free booze as I felt they might restrict it  bit but no, the wine glasses are constantly topped up before they get empty and if you have a brandy or similar the same applies. I talked to our suite stewardess about her life on board and they are very happy with their accommodation and facilities and they find they are well managed and so all the crew work extremely well and very cheerfully. I understand that there is a long waiting list to be Seaborne staff of up to five months.
We had a good dinner last night and it was ‘Thai’ and very good it was too with  and supported by a Uruguayan  white wine which was really excellent considering that neither of us knew that they made wine. It still is a bit rough as we go to bed but during the night it should get smoother and we hope this is true as we have an early morning.
