A great trip on Beagle Channel

The trip on the Beagle Channel was fine; our son handled it with absolutely no problem. The day has been nice and the channel was relatively calm. We saw a couple of kinds of sea lions (one type chased after the boats jumping out of the water like porpoises), steamer ducks, tons of cormorants and other birds. We also did some walking on an island It was an interesting trip and we got some very nice views of Ushuaia with the mountains in the background.

The boat was a little smaller than I thought it would be and it also has an engine, so the sails were not used. We got back at about two and then went to have some lunch. Tomorrow we leave for Río Gallegos at 6:00 a.m. and should get there at about 6:00 p.m.
