Lat S 53 53°/ long W 071 40,3°

Magellan

We have just passed the Isla Rupert, home to 20 000 penguins or so.
Of this number on paper, we are surprised to have seen just a
handful. However, the wildlife was rich, with seals, dolphins and
waterfowl of all varieties. Also spotted two whales.

Otherwise, it becomes colder and colder every day. The writer
(Erik) carries about four layers on the legs (longjohns, trousers, jeans
and rubber gear) and six layers on the upper body (underwear, vest,
shirt, thick sweater, thick sweater 2, rubber gear). Socks, I have only
two pairs on top of each other, as no more can fit in my boots.

It's like in Scotland. The heat is defined by "one sweater day", "two
sweater day "or" three sweater day ".
