2015-03-13: The Beagle Channel

In the afternoon, all passengers embarked on MS Ortelius, the ship that would take us to Antartica. After mustering, we set sail and headed through the Beagle Channel to the South Atlantic Ocean. The place was humming with people in eager anticipation of what they would experience in Antartica. We also had a  TV crew with us that was shooting another episode of a Japanese family series. Main characters guiding the viewer through the program were Antony-san and Funashii-san.
