Falkland Islands & Cape Horn

As we continue our journey into the far south of the Atlantic Ocean we near the Falkland Islands, the seas become more rough and the temperatures continue to fall - it is very chilly out on deck these days. Fleece jackets and other winter wear is being worn by most folks now.
Bad news - the captain has announced that we will not be able to land in Port Stanley as the seas are too rough for a safe transfer into the tender vessels. See you later Falklands.
We sail directly to Cape Horn and hope that the seas calm a little and allow us to go around - otherwise it will be the inside passage.
great news - the captain announces that we will go around. Exciting stuff this southern ocean sailing - not quite Magellan or Darwin but still very exciting.

View at front of ship - the waves are  much bigger than they look

 

 

Heading south to The Horn

Almost there

This is it - straight north is Calgary - eventually - straight south is Antarctica
