Yacht Windora, Explores Tierra Del Fuago Glaciers

Visiting the stunning glaciers of Patagonia in winter.

[@Andy-xm1fg]

Hermoso registro exploratorio de esas bellas, inhóspitas, prístinas, dramática y loca geografía de la Patagonia chilena. Alrededor de la Cordillera Darwin, aparecen el Seno Garibaldi, el "Fiordo Chico" (con el "glaciar Piloto" al fondo) y el Fiordo y Glaciar "Pía" con vista de fondo del monte Shipton, el monte continental más alto de todo el paralelo 53°, 54°, 55° y 56°S, todo situado dentro del Parque Nacional Alberto de Agostini, de la Región de Magallanes e Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego - Chile.

Thankyou for you reply, sadly I don't understand Spanish and would really like to know what you have written. Cheers Phil and Lynda

[@thosoz3431]

I was also there 2019. The fjords of Tierra Del Fuego are beautiful beyond description, as this wonderful footage shows. Thank you.

Incredible! Beautiful boat as well! Thanks for sharing!

[@RVLifeNOW]

Would LOVE to see more about how you are equipped for this area! How you are staying warm...ground tackle...months visited...facilities nearby if any...hot water for showers, how you get lines ashore...how long of lines are actually needed...do you spike the lines in to something or just tie to trees...bunk of ice that could melt, etc...We are considering sailing to this area next year after 12 years sailing in the tropics. You have a great opportunity to educate the boats heading that way in the future. I subscribed and will be eagerly waiting for some great info from you! -Wow....so cold at the end...whatmonths are you there with snow once k, icicles etc. Maybe you talked me out of it :( Rebecca

Crazy Kiwi's - amazing!

[@philandlyndachristieson8808]

Us Kiwi's see it as normal, Lynda and I look up to others who have done much more.

two days ago i watched a video about rebuilding this vessel and now this shows up ,beautiful adventure and one fine yacht ,she would be at home mere in newfoundland ,canada

[@philandlyndachristieson8808]

She was at home there, Lynda and I enjoyed every moment of our time in Labrador, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. It was a fantastic year sailing down from Iceland and Greenland. We have a very good friend Henry Fuller, has the Boatyard in Baddeck. ⛵🌏⛵🌎. Cheers Phil and Lynda

[@philandlyndachristieson8808]

[@richardg2959]

You guys are so lucky. Wish I could have a 2nd chance of living this lifestyle 👍

[@philandlyndachristieson8808]

You're so right and it come to us completely by accident, our life was just heading in that direction. Phil and Lynda

[@laurentbrochard6949]

I was there twice. Do not sail so close ? The wave is not dangerous, but the ice ... Your boat looks perfect fot this kind of trip

[@philandlyndachristieson8808]

We are very blessed having Windora, she draws a lot of attention around the world. Cheers Phil and Lynda

[@philandlyndachristieson8808]

So was the 87 year old Ron we found this winter sailing around Stewart Island, in a 27 ft yacht single handed with no heating. Phil and Lynda

"At least sit down!" 😂🤣

[@desdeelmuelle4085]

tierra del fuego ARGENTINA !

[@philandlyndachristieson8808]

No!!!! Tierra del Fuego CHILE

[@MiQBohlin]

Wow! When? What time of the year?

[@philandlyndachristieson8808]

Mid winter. Phil

[@c.wagner7482]

...and then some one said, "I wonder if we could walk up it"?

[@philandlyndachristieson8808]

It was the next glacier over that l climbed, leaving Lynda to mind Windora. Phil

[@bobl1769]

Give me a break, they can’t even read the names on charts properly, it is “Tierra del Fuego.” They have no common sense given the initial “I wonder if we could walk up it” comment. My world.

[@philandlyndachristieson8808]

People who don't make fuckups do fuck all. Take a good look around you. Phil

@@philandlyndachristieson8808 I applaud you and would love to have the opportunity to make my own mistakes as I sail the remote places. Best wishes from Western Australia.
