I forgot to mention the Drake Passage - a two day crossing - after all the build up & the 2 weeks practicing at sea in the Gulf of Alaska & Pacific Ocean!
As it turns out, we had rather calm seas through most of the Drake Passage. Just when it was time for the captain to decide whether to navigate straight back into the Beagle Channel or to round Cape Horn the weather took a turn and the forecast made his decision. We survived the Drake with ease for the most part - choppy, but not at all as bad as the trip between Kodiak and Homer! But sadly, we returned to port unable to state we round the Cape.
