DARWIN CHANNEL

1 26

Today we entered the Darwin Channel.  It is named after you know who.  We will also travel in the Beagle Channel, named after his boat.  The channel is like the fjords of New Zealand and the inland passage to Alaska.  Here, though, the mountains coming out of the sea are rocky, rather than covered with greenery.  There are some green hills, too.

On this little island are sea lions and lots of birds.  I know, it is very hard to see.  For us also.  But you have to take our word for it. :)
