Day 88
NOVEMBER 27, 2019
ROUNDING CAPE HORN
This is the day we sail from the Atlantic to the Pacific by rounding Cape Horn. Look Dick look! Look Jane look!
Magellan sailed past here on January 29, 1616, the time of year when the sea is most navigable. But during the austral winter it becomes one scary body of water - rocks abound, and heavy fog, and huge swells, and strong winds. Not recommended.
Besides the fascinating landscape, one can't help being attracted to the ever present birds - dozens and dozens of gliding albatrosses and long flying sooty shearwaters. Lovely.
I hear that Victoria Gyro Club had a beer tasting this week. Was it mentioned that the greatest invention in human history was beer? So I'm told - seriously. Do you agree? Check it out: https://www.youtube.
While I could not find music specifically devoted to South America's Cape Horn, as a reasonable substitute I offer Hennie Bekker's "Cape of Good Hope":
