The Rhyme of Sim’

Arrived in Ushuaia

Just a quick note to let you know we arrived in Ushuaia, Argentina after our 4 night cruise - it was fantastic. We managed to land on Cape Horn (something they only get to do around 60% of the time due to bad weather). We were very lucky - as the last Zodiacs were returning, the wind picked up and hit 70 knots (around 130kph)

We took over 1300 photos, of which we kept just over 600 (I spent a lot of time deleting photos - mostly duplicates). We saw a lot of birds - most of them the ubiquitous Kelp Gull, although we had nearly constant companionship from the Black-browed Albatross and Imperial Cormorant, with the occasional Kelp Goose sighting. Saw a few Dolphins, and a couple of Elephant Seals - which was quite special.

    It looks very cold. We can’t wait to see all those photos. Keep them coming.

    Cape Horn is a tiny dot on the map. Glad you had a great trip. Did you need the Kwells?
