Puerto Montt - 25 Pound Salmon - two days at sea
Richard had arranged a day of guided fishing with Marcello. Marianne decided not to go. The plan was to go fly fishing, but the river fishing was slow, so we went to where the Petrohue River meets the sea, to fish for salmon. Richard caught an 18 inch rainbow trout, and later a 25 pound King Salmon! (a Jack, so smaller than most Kings). The weather looked dubious, but the rain held off until 2 PM.
Richard talked various business issues with the guide, such as web sites, Skype, Google Ads, credit cards, and Paypal. Richard may help the guide later with some of these opportunities.
The following day was a sea day. Richard got seasick, while Marianne did not, the reverse of what one would expect. Richard finally took a Bonine pill, which really helped him.
Lots of reading and hanging out on sea days.
We started referring to our interior room as "The Cave", since it had no windows. The room was nice, however.
The evening show included a tango show.
We had another sea day on our way south. Unfortunately, the visibility was limited, so we did not see much of the fijords. We played Scrabble and Trivia.
