Humongous trip picture post #1

Sep 02, 2006 09:30

Okay, I'm going back to the start of the trip and trying to post pics in some sort of rational order. This means folks who are holding out for freaky statues will have to be patient for a bit, but I promise I'll have everything posted by the end of the long weekend.

WARNING: LOTS OF PICS BEHIND THE CUT! NOT DIAL-UP FRIENDLY AT ALL!!!!


Punta Arenas, Chile

Former Sarah Braun mansion, now housing the Union Club and the Hotel Jose Noguiera, where I stayed after the cruise.


View from above


Every time I went past this cafe it was closed. Bummer


So where do you want to go?


Statue of Magellan in Plaza Munoz Gamero


Fishing boats in port


Sunrise over the Strait of Magellan



The RV Nathaniel B. Palmer

At home...


...and abroad


Bridge


Engine room


Aft dry lab


This is what I meant when I said "I'll be in my bunk"


Assembling the MOCNESS


University of Hawaii team preparing to launch the trace metal CTD rosette


A pleasant morning on deck


Let's all go out in an inflatable boat!


Sometimes the portholes got a little icy


The deck, too


More to come later. It gets more scenic than this, I promise.
