ARICA, CHILE

Coming into our first port in Chile we got quite a wildlife show. We saw whales, dolphins jumping and tons of jelly fish. One of my favorite fellow residents Basia captured it so well on her blog, see link below.
Town was quaint and nice and easy to walk around. Port provided a nice send off with Music and Dancers, it was to celebrate our 100 days of Sailing!!

Somedays are just meant to be beach days, to chill with a friend! First, I did an uber run to nearby Costco in the town of Lihue, where I bought us Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs! Then we were good to go. Kalapaki beach was just a quick 15 minute walk from the Ship. I realized I did the same thing with my Cousin Cathy , back in 2020, when I was here on my first cruise to Hawaii! Today, I spent the afternoon chilling with good buddy Sherrie Cornett.
