Skorpios III Ship

 

 

This morning we drove by Lago Toro (Bull Lake) on our way to Puerto Natales to board the ship Scorpios III that we will spend 4 nights on in order to see the fjords of Southern Chile. 

It was cloudy but not raining when we left the port and there were some mountains in view.

Soon after we got settled on the ship we had lunch. Too much food! It was four courses - appetizer, salad, main and dessert. Everything was served very elegantly with excellent service. 

 

 Our first outing was a transfer to a Zodiac boat to go see elephant seals. It wasn't windy which was a surprise since this area is notorious for strong winds. My rain pants and jacket kept me dry. I was able to get a picture a Zodiac boat that left before the boat I was on and also a picture of our ship that was anchored in the channel.

 

The elephant seals were all in a a large group except for one that our guide said was off by herself because she was about to give birth. How he knows this is a mystery to me
