Our hosts, Kevin LaGraff and Susan Atkins, as well as several Cruise Specialists guests continue their 72-night journey around South America. Most recently they spent time cruising Patagonia with stops in Puerto Montt  and Punta Arenas. A highlight of the trip was sailing past the stunning Chilean Fjords – where the crew even went off and brought back a chunk of glacial ice as a souvenir! After the majestic time spent in Chile they had the adventure of a lifetime sailing around Cape Horn.

Glacier Souvenir

Susan says “The trip around Cape Horn was quite exciting. Successfully navigating this treacherous stretch of water is considered the epitome of seamanship. It is a tradition that sailors who have made the passage will wear one gold loop earring as a badge of honor.”
