We left Stanley and cruised for a day and a half until we got to the southern-most tip of the continent. The weather was cold and blustery – but sunny – and the seas were not rough at all (which made me extremely happy!!!). The day passed by quickly, as we watched the landscape flash past us – craggy mountain ranges in the distance.
We rounded Cape Horn –literally went around it (it’s an island, btw, not really the very end of the land mass continent) and saw the Albatross monument and the Chilean Naval station. Had our picture taken by the ship’s photographer and by some new found friends who were giving us a narrative as we sailed (they had been this way before on a cruise that came down and ended in Rio on December 22– they don’t like to fly!).
Watched as some dolphins played in the water around the ship, then headed inside to warm up and change for dinner.
