Obviously it wasn’t the earliest morning in the world for us today, and I think that was probably true for a large portion of the ship. Sticking our head out the balcony in the morning, and it was definitely pretty cool out. The only real thing for today on the agenda was the scenic cruising of Cape Horn, and that wasn’t scheduled until later in the afternoon.
Cape Horn is actually on an island, specifically the Isla Hornos. The captain told us the plan was to go in and sail around the island in a counter-clockwise direction. Weather was, well, probably fair for this area of the world. Seas were minimal, and all we were really getting was some wind and rain/sleet/snow mixture from time to time. Part of me almost feels a little cheated that we didn’t get the true Cape Horn experience as a result.
Italian night in the dining room, which means a pretty so-so menu, but it also means limoncello, which makes Cathy happy. Oddly, tonight the dining room seemed noticeably busier than it normally is that early. Yeah, we were a little later than normal because of the Cape Horn viewing, but still, at worst it was we entered the dining room around the time we’d been leaving it before, and never saw it that busy then.
