Around the Horn

Epilogue

I am now back home in New Maryland, in the land of ice and snow. I still cannot believe how quickly these 48 days have flown by.

What can I say about this trip, the cruise of a lifetime for me......so far! I have nothing but praise for the Mariner and her Master, Captain Johnny. The weather was all we could have wished for, and the experience of sailing around Cape Horn is one I will never forget.

The ports of call in South America were simple wonderful, and I have no doubt that I will return to many of them in the future. Rio de Janairo, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, and Ushuaia hold many fond memories for me, as do the other new ports that we were priveleged to visit.

And last but not least, the Hornblowers. What a great group of people, strangers who became friends, and then became an extended family. I would sail with each and every one of them again in a heartbeat, and hope to do so someday. There is talk of a reunion in the future, and I hope that I can be there to re-live the wonderful experiences of sailing the Mariner.....

Thanks for following. I hope you enjoyed my journal, and I promise to post a link to a photo slideshow as soon as I sift through 2500 images and 2 hours of video.

See you next time.
