we are flying towards Cape Horn

The wind did calm down a bit during the night, but we are not going muchslower – we are flying towards Cape Horn. All is well.We do some wet bracing in the morning - after which Sarah gives alecture about Shackleton down in the rocking lounge. After we watch the1929 footage 'Around Cape Horn' – just before spotting land ourselves.There she is, the Horn! We pass Cape Horn with a speed of about 10knots. Good views – with binoculars we can even see the monument and thelighthouse. As we come closer to land we are surrounded by Peale'sDolphins – jumping and bow riding.Passing Cape Horn everything calms down. We brace and are almost sailingdownwind now. The ship is upright again and lunch is surprisingly easy.As we enter the Beagle channel we take down all the sails – we haveheadwinds now. Light headwinds that is – they don´t slow us down much.At our 8 o´clocky we have done 190 nm – with gusts of over 40 knots, amaximum speed of 11.9 and a swell of roughly 7 meter. Sea watches aresuspended – we end them with a great furling party, furling all thesails on the fore and the main mast – as Peale's Dolphins are jumpingaround the bow.We drop anchor just past 01:00. It is warm, the evening is calm anddark. A summer night.Sarah
