waiting update....

It's nearing 5pm down here in Chile.  We just got a "stand-by" notice.  They are going to call us back at 7pm (5 ET) and give us an either a go or wait until tomorrow.  This is better news than we expected as it indicates we have a chance to fly tonight.

We spent the day basically doing nothing--which we are getting pretty good at.  We toured a museum that we thought was all about Magellan but it turned out to be about a Puntas Arenas family named the Hamburguers, who were big in the early 1900s.  We scored some very good pizza, saw some cormorants and chilled back in our room again.  We practiced our knots and generally made sure we are ready to go should we get the green light in a couple of hours....






Confirmed a couple of things--the body of water in all of these pictures is indeed the Straights of magellan--pretty cool/  Also, confirmed that I am the oldest climber on our team.....
