2-27 Sailing around Cape Horn & Winemaker's Dinner

Today is a scenic cruising day.  We are scheduled to sail around Cape Horn around 5 pm this evening.    Being summer in the southern hemesphere means sunlight until 8:30pm.  The seas continue to be quite rough and the autopilot on this ship slows itself down to a safe speed.  And it's quite foggy.  To quote our tour guide yesterday, "Expect anything.  It's the South Atlantic."  Bottom line, no Cape Horn.

But we still had a great day.  In the evening we have scheduled a winemaker's dinner.  For an additional charge, we enjoy a private dining area and have a special meal prepared for us while tasting a white and red wine.  Tony & I did this while crossing the Atlantic a few years ago.  And we wanted Pat & Dean, and Linda & Gordy to experience.  We were joined by a forth couple from Australia.  Thumbs up from everyone!
