Taking the bonine tablets for motion sickness was a good move!  Things got very rough overnight once we exited the Beagle Channel.   There were 9-12 ft waves with a 30-knot wind and very rough seas.  It was difficult to walk around the boat with the amount of roll.  Thank goodness for the handrails in every…

Hey – it’s us!

As the two of us have travelled over the years we’ve tried to keep a blog going (mainly so we can remember what the heck we did!).  It’s been good fun and a great way to hold on to special memories.
