.-,..n. ,AMA H A CHILE To many people Chile is just a country in South America, but to the crew of the BLAKELYChlle means much more. We spent 52 days traveling the coast of this 2600 mile long country getting to know the people and experiencing their way of life. We remember the northern cities like Mejillones and Antofagasta with their deserts, among the driest in the world. Valparaiso and Talcahuano in the central portion of the country sported a Mediterranean flavor with respect to the people and climate. This gave way to the rugged forested areas and grazing lands in the south with the snow-capped volcanoes at a lovely place called Puerto Montt. Chile means something special to the men of the BLAKELYand we will always remember these southern neighbors who welcomed us into their lives. T? f' l
