It's cool 48* today as we make our way to Cape Horn. We have passed close to a couple of mountainous islands most of the day.
Bingo was a wash again today....
We went to the Pub Lunch today and chilled all afternoon. Greg is resting as the cold is winning. I tried to catch up on the blog, but could not get the internet to work well enough to post anything. ARGH!!! I tried to call Dad yesterday in the Falklands, but we had no signal all day no matter where we were in or out of town. Dad is recovering at Humboldt Care South, but I have no details yet. He knows very little of what they have done and is more interested in complaining about the weather. I'll try again from Ushuaia. I think we had good cell coverage there last time we visited.
We rounded the horn tonight from around 6:40 PM to 8:00. The seas were looking good and despite the horrific wind, we were able to go all the way around. We had hoped to watch from the cabin/balcony, but we were circling so the view was on the port side and we are starboard. So, we went early and got seats in the Horizon court and I had a chair by the window with my binoculars and Greg spent most of the time out on deck. How great to get the opportunity to go all the way around and the captain honked his horn to the family that lives there. (family with children) The seas were pretty calm, but when he rounded a corner a bunch of stuff on the buffet line crashed to the floor.
Tomorrow we visit Ushuaia, Argentina (the end of the world....) No rush to get off the ship as we have been before and don't have anything planned. Plus, it's supposed to be windy and cold.
****I'm posting this the morning in Ushuaia. Finally.....a fast connection thanks to using my cell phone as a hotspot.....
