Chile: Around the Cape
December 3, 2010
12/3/10 - 12/4/10
43 °F
Cape Horn is an island and is also the southernmost point of South America. Today we successfully navigated around it in a counterclockwise direction. We got lucky and avoided the frequent storms, strong currents and icebergs which can make this passage really dangerous. In the thousand pictures that Tony shot today you can see the famous monument to lost sailors (which is hollow in the center to capture their souls) as well as the lighthouse. The famous Cathedral Rocks and a formation that looks like a Crouching Lion can be seen in some of the other pictures. We had every form of weather that day too and definitely had to wear our raincoats and snow gear! Carey and Gerald from Calgary joined us in braving the windy and cool weather to check out the sites. The four of us had dinner and then we had a blast drinking and dancing later that night! They are much better dancers than us. . so we were happy to learn a few new Latin moves =)
