South America->Drake Passage
Chile
Cape Horn
As a plus for this trip, we landed @ Cape Horn! Weather is harsh around here (ca. 30,000 sailors have died in the area) and it is more likely to keep sailing than to land. It is quite beautiful and it has a lovely sculpture pictured below
And a couple of nice poems dedicated to the dead sailors (http://www.caphorniers.cl/poem.htm) and friendship (couldn't find it ;)
This is an image of the lighthouse as we departed
Now we're getting ready for kayaking! Few theoretical instructions and gear checking!
And the last decision of the day: use earplugs to buffer the head-drilling creaking noises in the cabin (sounds like a constant earthquake, with movement an all!). That was the only way I could sleep soundly ;)
