Cape Horn

On this trip we've had an ongoing run of uncharacteristically good weather: Antarctica was sunny with no wind; Torres del Paine was warm and clear. The real test of our luck was at Cape Horn, infamous for ferocious storms & unsettled seas and site of over 200 wrecks. We've met a few people on our travels who had just completed the same cruise that we're scheduled on and they reported that they were not able to land on the Horn due to high winds and massive sea swells. We were curious about what would happen when the unstoppable force of our recent good luck with weather met the immovable object of the Cape Horn climate...

I'll confess that the light rain when we made landfall stopped it from being a landslide victory:

However by the time we returned to the ship to get a view of the Cape from the sea, it was t-shirt weather:
