[youtube=UJh6W12pqmE][youtube=Lj4bnvNivtI]Tuesday morning we woke up safely nestled behind Lennox Island in Chile. Later that morning we raised the anchor and sailed around Cape Horn. Conditions around Cape Horn were pretty bleak, but considering the weather it was amazing we were able to do it at all.

Later Tuesday afternoon we started our transit up the Beagle Channel. One of the first things we saw was the shipwreck of the bible study ship Logos. Had we not left Antarctica early to beat the storm we would not have been able to see the scenic Beagle Channel. We were scheduled to sail through here overnight while it was dark. As we were sailing north, everything on the right is Argentina and on the left is Chile. We had to make a stop for customs at Puerto Williams, Chile. This is the southern most town on the planet. After we left Puerto Williams it was only a couple hours to Ushuaia, Argentina where we spent the night.
