The wind didn't ease off with the night and the ocean remained shaken but less than yesterday. I managed to tighten things in the cabin which helped having a restful night.
In early afternoon cape horn was in sight. We sailed close to remain protected from the bad sea and as soon as the south-american continent was left on our port side, the ocean became almost flat. Restful!

The last night on board was the occasion of last talks between passengers. I found it very interesting to be mixed into so many nationalities exchanging points of views on any possible topics but mainly related to our expedition.

At 7am professor Multanovskiy anchored at Ushuaïa, the journey was over. Antarctica was a dream. I'll keep on dreaming of Antarctica but not the same way!
