Atlantic to the Pacific at Cape Horn, and even in a huge ocean liner
like this it was thrilling. Sir Francis Drake probably wouldn't have
used the word thrilling. Terrifying perhaps. 50 knot winds and 15
foot swells, and this is a good day. Darwin's expedition had to pull
into an inlet and wait for decent weather so they could pass. It was
only rough for a little while and the rest of the day was pretty
calm. This is about as far south as you can go without actually being
an explorer or scientist.
