Second full day at sea, so leisurely breakfast at about 8.45 in Blu. Then three laps around the upper deck. Temperature starting to cool now as we head towards Tierra del Fuego and Ushuaia. No site of land but according to the Nav picture we are off the coast of Puerto Madryn, which we will visit next week. After the walk found a warm place to sit and read our books. Then an early lunch in Oceanview Cafe as we are off to a Sparkling Wine and Champagne tasting. Af...

Into our cabin and unpacked, first time all has been unpacked since T...
