Day 13 - Blogabond

The morning was spent at sea as we slowly made our way up the Beagle Channel, waiting for the Argentine pilot to come aboard. Eventually he did and we sailed toward Harberton, Natalie and Tom's farm. It was truly an idyllic place, nestled at the end of a large cove. After so many days of only sea andice, the luch grass and green hillsides were a welcoming sight.

After a tour of Natalie's flora preserve and the farm itself, some of us took a short walk out to the bone house and to a lake for birdwatching.

We stayed at Harberton several hours before continuing on to Ushuaia. Once docked, the finale was upon us -- the Captain's Dinner. I "dressed" by putting on clean clothes -- which were quickly dirtied by the spilt baked alaska. Post-dinner was again spent with the Smiths, the Rodenbachs, Corey and Carole.
