Yesterday I went on a trip down the Beagle Channel, one of three ways to get from the Atlantic to the Pacific (or vice versa) in this part of the world. It was a lovely calm day and we stopped off to look at the sealions and penguins. In fact we saw two types of penguins, the Magellans and the other type (is it obvious that I can´t remember the name?) the ones who were in an animated film, yellow feet and beak with a fairly long grey tail, yes them.
To be honest the best part was the actual sailing. I was on a catamaran along with about 50 other people but I spent a good deal of the time on deck just staring at the scenery. I was filled with an incredible sense of peace and I have some understanding of why people enjoy sailing.
Today I´m flying to Puerto Montt in Chile and from there I´m going onto Chiloe for New Year. An odd thing has happened, Argentina has put its clocks forward an hour so it´s now 11:30 here. I´m totally confused about how this relates to the UK but I´ll sort it out in Chile.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Did you manage to get to Chiloe for NY and if so - which hostel are you in? If you are with Martha and her family, do pass on our best wishes.
By the way, if Argentina have gone forward an hour, they are now two hours behind the UK but not sure if Chile is still on the old time.
Enjoying the blog.
Love Jayne xx
