Day 93 Drake Passage and seeing Cape Horn
We wake still rolling, we hear we made good time during the night, trying to outrun the storms.
The day passes. Late afternoon we are told our route will take us briefly into the Pacific Ocean then within a couple kilometers of Cape Horn turning east and around the horn into the Atlantic Ocean and the Beagle Channel.
Early evening, Cape Horn is visible way in the distance. Many people now are on the bridge. The cape comes closer and closer. At one point we are sailing on the Meridian, the line between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans.

It's difficult to absorb that we sailed around the Cape Horn and walked on Antarctica.
