Navimag Ferry--Misadventures in the Chilean Fiords

April 22nd 2011
Watery Labyrinth Depending on your timing, a journey on the Navimag Ferry can be a romantic ride through the breathtaking fiords in Chilean Patagonia, or it can be a wild, roller coaster of storms with furniture flying across the room and passengers green at the gills. I was (un)lucky enough to have the latter, but then again, challenging experiences can bond friends forever and make ... read more

Prior to the coming of the Spanish in the 16th century, northern Chile was under Inca rule while Araucanian Indians inhabited central and southern Chile; the latter were not completely subjugated until the early 1880s. Although Chile declared its ind... ... read more

I´m a one-way ticket, slow traveler, relishing the freedom of the open road and trusting serendipity to guide my journey. When I was younger, I used to travel for a year at a time. Then a few years ago, I roamed Europe and North Africa for three and a half years and liked that even better. On August 1st, 2010, I left my peaceful Mission Canyon paradise in Santa Barbara's mellow summer and emerged from a couple of planes a day and a world later in the teeming, sub-zero streets of Buenos Aires´winter. Now, with the Andes, Amazon and Galapagos between here and home, will three years be enou... full info

Thanks, Jeremy!
Yes, where there was rain, there were amazing rainbows. Patagonia is fantastic, and I hope you come down soon. I'll look for your photos and blogs.

Super Numerary Rainbow
Hi Tara Cloud... Thanks for the comments on some of our blogs by the way, I am pleased you could enjoy some of the Antarctic adventures! I really love that rainbow shot - It's a super numerary rainbow. I have saw one of these before up in the arctic... They are low on the horizon and they are two or more rainbows stacked in front of each other - if you look closely you'll see that the last couple of colours repeat themselves (blue, indigo, violet, blue, indigo, violet). Two rainbows, one in front of the other - super cool! And they are fairly uncommon too. Enjoy the rest of your Chile trip... Chiloe Island is really nice if you're out that way! Dave

Uncommon Journeys, We Two or Three
Hi Dave, thanks for the further info on this magical rainbow! Glad you got to see one too. Love the Arctic, which I too visited, and the Antarctic, which only you, lucky duck got to visit. I lived my southern adventure through you--so thanks for that! Indeed, I visited Chiloe--a couple of blogs down the line. Great to hear of Paraguay--too expensive for an American, so like the Antarctic, I'll have to live it through you. Happy travels!

Supernumerary is an adjective which means "exceeding the usual number"
Update, Dave. I had known supernumerary only as the "extras" in an opera production, and as an opera fan, had always wanted to be one. So when you said this was the name of the rainbow, I looked it up, Indeed, it's an extra, whether for an opera or a rainbow. Great to know--thanks!
