Finally we were underway. After we unpacked Linda and I made a tour of the ship. At 300 feet and 4 decks it did not take long to locate the dining room (our deck), laundry (once again our deck) and the bar (one deck up) , all located at the stern and we were midship. Perfect. We happily discovered that the ship had more than ample deck space dedicated to observation. After a trip to the stern to watch Ushuaia recede in the distance we made our way forward to be entertained by dolphins guiding our ship out through the Beagle Channel and into the Southern Ocean.
