Cape Horn to Starboard!

Marcy tacked past Cape Horn in light winds on Friday January 8, 2010.



The Horn is a place of sailor's legend. We spent a quiet moment thinking of all the maritime history linked to this cape, and reflected on all the sea miles that had led us here. And, make no mistake, we were grateful for the quiet weather!

The image of Marcy is courtesy of Yorikke, flying the South African flag but still wearing Washington State registration stickers. She followed us out of a little cove close to the Horn where we had anchored the night before. We agreed to swap photos.



Now, of course, we are entitled to wear the gold earring..........
