I'm not even going to try to identify the birds we saw today. Tomorrow, I'll talk to the on-board ornithologist and get a professional to help me.

Sights from our day dockside in Puerto Williams. There was a storm system with 10-12m (30'+) waves, sustained winds of 40 knots (46mph, 74kph), and gusts up to 65 knots (75mph, 120kph), so the decision was made to delay our departure 24 hours.
I've been to many places that say if you don't like the weather, just wait 30 minutes. Puerto Williams makes it reality. We saw clouds, wind, rain, sun, wind, sleet, more clouds, wind, more rain, wind, and more sun today.

Some sights from the most southern city in the world.
Take your time and look through the pix.
In one a shipwreck is used as part of a bridge. In another a shipwreck is now a mooring dock for the sailing school. 🤯

More pix and bonus we buzzed our ship! Ok not really but we did get a good look at it as we came in for a landing on Isla Navarino.
The temps in Santiago were in the 80s f (32c) and here 47f (5c). Time to break out that cold weather gear!!!
Next stop the Silver Explorer. 😎

Our charter flight to Puerto Williams provided some spectacular views of Chilean mountains, lakes, glaciers, and volcanos.

I didn't see much of Chile, but I get to count it, as I did overnight outside an airport. 😎

Apparently ancient Greeks occasionally wanted to gouge out their eyes too. Who knew? There are dozens of Greek statues on display to gaze upon, giggle with, and marvel at.
The Venus de Milo is just one of the many. Supposedly it's famous due to a marketing/propaganda campaign by the French.
Winged Victory of Samothrace, is another of the Greek sculpture treasures of the Louvre. Victory in Greek is Nike, so the next time you put on a pair of Nikes, know you have the goddess of victory on your side.
