11 pm and twilight

So the end of a long full day has us cruising down the channel to the Drake Passage. We will be beyond Cape Horn at around 4 am but too far from land to see it. Which is good in a way cause I would probably get myself up to experience the passing.
I was just out on deck and in the bow the wind is rising and cold but I only have my merino wool sweater and vest on, no jacket and gloves yet. Expect that to happen tomorrow.

But it is all amazing.

Need to figure out the power outlets and adapters and such. Will upload pics tomorrow.
I am to sleep.

Can't believe that you are where you ARE! And that we're able to communicate. Can you imagine how different things would have been if Shackelton had a blog!

What about the ship? Must hear details! Is it posh? Austere? Do you take hot toddies in a fire-lit sitting room under a low creaking wood ceiling? You are on a wooden schooner, no? Abby
