Although it was a bumpy day at sea, it was great! Because we chose to have a cabin in the middle of the ship, the rolling of the sea did not effect us as much. The winds reached a brisk 50 miles per hour. The outside decks were closed off to passengers. Guess they didn't want to have some of the passengers blow away.
We had breakfast in a different dining room down on the 5th floor mid-ship....less rock and roll there. Lunch was on the 7th floor in the pub and dinner was in our cozy little cabin. We avoided going to the 15th floor where the rocking and rolling was quite noticeable. The temps were very cold....in the 30's...everyone wore sweaters and jackets about the ship.
We enjoyed a talk about icebergs both in the Artic and Antarctica.
The captain announced at 2:00 in the afternoon that we were not going to making it to Cape Horn....an island that is the most southern point of South America. The ship could not go the faster speed needed with the winds blowing and the swells so high. Oh well...maybe some other time. The captain was disappointed as well...he said he had never been around Cape Horn and had been looking forward to it....so we were not the only ones that were disappointed.
We watched a cute movie called "Return to Belle Island" with Morgan Freeman before hitting the sack. Life is GOOD!
