CAPE HORN

Wednesday 20^th February 2013.

This is the day we reached the southern most point of South America, Cape Horn. We woke up this morning to a bitterly, cold, bleak, overcast and windy day with a temperature of about 5 degrees. Luckily it was not raining and the seas had abated overnight to reasonable conditions.

We reached Cape Horn at about 3 o’clock in the afternoon and scenic cruised through the straights for 2 hours and circumnavigated Hornos Island at the southern most tip of South America. The scenery was spectacular with bleak landscapes and rugged coastlines. This is an area well worth seeing and another one off the bucket list.

We overnight to our next port of call, Ushuaia, which is the southern most city on earth.
