Puerto Montt, Chile

This was one of the first ports that Akis and I went out in when I came back. We only went out once. We wandered the streets and market.

The downfall of a number of these ports is that there aren't docking facilities, so you often have to tender. Depending on how close the ship can get, we can have quite lengthy tender rides, not to mention the wait for actually getting on the tender.

Once we got to town, here was the downtown area and park:

The tender operations were perhaps a bit slower on this particular day due to the fog. I can see how this might be disconcerting to some. You get on the tender, head off into the Pea Soup fog without an idea of where the ship is. It is only as you come up to it that you can see the outline in the distance... Hey, where did they all go???
