Seno Iceberg without icebergs
05 April 2012 | Caleta Yvonne and Seno Iceberg
Nina's Diary
On Thursday we had breakfast and left to Seno Iceberg. On the way we did school. There are no icebergs in Seno Iceberg but maybe in winter. We anchored near a glacier and a big waterfall. The glacier was huge but not as big as Ventisquero Pio XI. The best part about it was that instead of just a tall ice face we could see the rest of it snaking up around a big mountain. We rowed to shore and went for a short walk on the side of the waterfall. There were a lot of stick tights (little prickly seeds that stick all over your clothes). The river was almost wide as on in Bahia Elisabeth (where we went fishing) and really fast. We went rock hopping for a while and then went back to the boat. We motored back to Caleta Yvonne since there wasn't any anchorage good enough to spend the night in Seno Iceberg. On the way back I baked a madeira cake, an apple fruit sponge and pao de queijo. We had all the things above and soup for dinner and watched a movie.
On Friday we left Caleta Yvonne and tried to sail to Caleta Point Lay. We sailed all day but the wind was too strong and against us so we turn back to Caleta Connor (48' 29.49S: 074' 24.44W). When we got there I made negrinhos with Lucas and some presents for Easter.
On Saturday we went to shore and want for a walk to the arbol notable which is a tree with all the names of boats that passed here on it. We didn't put ours up since we wanted to leave the anchorage and didn't have time. We sailed for ages and I finished my presents. We anchored in Caleta Lamento del Indio and watched a movie.
