During the night we sailed Montonas Fjord. We woke up to high winds and the boat rocking. It was a real experience to take a shower while swaying back and forth, holding on to the grab bar with one hand and sudsing up with the other. After breakfast it had calmed down a little. Chuck decided that he was up the challenge. He donned a waterproof jacket and pants and headed to the small open boat. They went to the foot of Alsina Glacier (at least 1000' thick) ain a small bay with waterfalls on either side and an enormous mountain behind. Of course, it was still windy and raining. He came back in a short time wet on the outside and feeling a little beat up. He was dry and warm under that outer layer.
The next excursion was to Bernal Glacier but we decided that we could really seen plenty glaciers from the boat. Meanwhile we watched our boat take on 'sweet water' from a rushing brook off a waterfalls. While eating lunch, we heard stories of people getting soaked while on the outing. This is a rather lazy afternoon of packing for tomorrow, getting ready for the farewell banquet, drinking tea, looking out the window at the beautiful scenery, and taking a nap.
