The boat (see first photograph) from Puerto Natales to Puerto Montt was a substitute boat as its predecessor had hit a rock a couple of months ago and was currently in the Patagonia Home for Poorly Boats. The rock is fine, sitting up in bed, and taking nutrients. The captain explained to me that his job description was just (1) don't hit the rocks, and (2) be constantly available to be photographed with female passengers (see second photograph). At one time the arduous task of keeping the females entertained so overwhelmed the poor captain that he asked me to drive the boat for several hours (see third photograph). This was solely because I had the most naval beard amongst the passengers, with the exception of one woman that he was too embarased to ask.

[El barco (ver primera foto) desde Puerto Natales a Puerto Montt fue un barco sustituto que su predecesor había golpeado con una piedra hace un par de meses y en la actualidad es en la Residencia de la Patagonia por los Barcos Pobrecitos. La roca está muy bien, sentado en la cama, y tomando los nutrientes. El capitán me explicó que su descripción de trabajo era sólo: (1) no golpean las rocas, y (2) estar siempre disponible para ser fotografiado con pasajeras (ver segunda foto). Hubo un tiempo en la ardua tarea de mantener a las hembras entretenido abrumado por lo que el pobre capitán que él me pidió para conducir el barco durante unas horas (ver fotografía tercero). Esto fue únicamente porque tenía la barba más navales entre los pasajeros, con la excepción de una mujer que estaba demasiado avergonzado para preguntar.
