Navimag

Navimag is the boat company that sails down the Pacific coast of Chile, supplying outlying outposts of the country that have no road link, except through Argentina and relations with them aren’t always what they might be so this link is pretty important for those who live in the communities. So a few years back the company realised there was money to make from taking gringos along for the ride as well as wagons full of supplies.

The journey takes four days and nights and fortunately all but one afternoon and a night is within the protection of the archipelago that protects the Pacific coast. The scenery as one might expect was superb although the weather was a little cool for too much time spent on deck land and seal watching, did see a fantastic glacier tumble towards the sea though. Fortunately there was a ready supply of beer on board and always a school of cards some where.

As for the bad sea and my stomach, well I’m glad to report that I only succumb to feeding the fish once.
