I went back to the Docks yesterday and found the mysterious Dutchman with the beautiful sailboat. After a brief chat, Bart agreed to give me a ride to Puerto Williams, 5 hours across the Beagle Channel. The trip usually costs $100 for a 20 minutes ride on a small Zodiac motorboat, so I'm pretty proud of having secured such a superior alternative. Furthermore, due to Chilean territorial ambitions and the arbitrary nature of political boundaries, Puerto Willliams is actually part of Chile's Antarctic claim. Thus, assuming all goes to plan, on Thursday I will be able to claim having visited all 7 continents (although there will be an asterisk by my name due to the tecnhicality).
