Today we flew 3 more hours to Ushuaia.  From there they loaded us on buses and drove us through part of Pantagonia, which was really cool.  We could see Chile, and as I write this we can look out the window and still see Chile.  Lunch on a catamaran and then we FINALLY got to board the ship.  Having a fabulous time.  Cabin is the biggest we ever had on a ship.  Around midnight tonight we enter the Drakes Passage.  Many people wearing patches (scopolamine)All day tomorrow on the passage so may not post an entry because not much will be happening.  Average high in summer 55F, average low in winter 32F.
