Rounding the Horn

in Blog, Grand Adventures, Travel on 03/03/19

Cape Horn

Rounding the Horn was once a daring battle of man against the ocean. When we sailed around Cape Horn, the sea was rough and the winds were strong. This ship was too close to the rocky shore and the Chilean pilots that were on our ship were all a buzz trying to correct its course.
A day at Sea
The waves made the ship bounce up and down as it made its way around one of the southernmost points of South America (the real southernmost point are the Diego Ramirez Islands). The ship was handing out motion sickness patches and pills all day and even ran out of ginger ale.
Sunset at Sea
The day at sea went from sunshine to rainfall and fog, to choppy seas, then to a brilliant sunset we saw it all and loved every minute.

Oh, hi there!

I like to describe myself as a woman of leisure but in reality I’m Mr. B’s project manager. It’s not a bad gig and it does come with many benefits. I plan our trips, as we travel the world. I'm kept busy creating and designing our beautiful homes. The best perk is I usually chose the movie we see every Friday. I’m a part-time artist, with aspirations of becoming a full-time artist. Painting, photography and all types of crafting are my true loves. I like to say I’m an artist of many mediums and master of none.
My finest creations would be my five children. I’ve also allow them to parent my thirteen amazing grandchildren. My grandchildren are all brilliant, beautiful, spirited and take after me – their Mimi.
