The next big adventure, in a litany of adventures, was the Navimag ferry from Puerto Montt to Puerto Natales. If you EVER have the chance to do this - DO IT!!! It was a blast: the trekker's cruise. The small mountain of backpacks at the ferry terminal spoke volumes about the kind of company we were to keep on the boat. Almost the entire passenger list (about 250 people) were heading south to hike in Torres de Paine. It was three days of enforced relaxation. If you've been following all winter, you'll know that Lu and I are not good at relaxing, but the boat was different. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
