Unfortunately, the weather did get worse so we weren't able to dock or anchor in Punta Arenas (it really is Punta Arenas, sometimes I get my Puertos and Puntas mixed up ;-)) It's cloudy outside, but the big problem is the 60+ mph winds. It's kind of funny, the ship has a permanent list to the port side, so walking from port to starboard is kind of like walking up hill. Despite the wind, it's not really rocking or rolling, so everyone is happy. The Mariner is so stable, sometimes it's hard to tell you're on a ship. You can tell today, but it's amazingly smooth given the winds. We're sailing around in some fjords, trying to stay in the most protected areas -- wouldn't want to be out there in the Drake passage today!
