At Sea - Mon 02/03 - Day 31

I got up at 7:40 and it was 39 degrees with 95% humidity as we sailed through the Bellinghausen Sea toward Cape Horn.  I went to breakfast after reviewing my preliminary bill at 8:20.  After breakfast, I stopped by the front desk and bought 70,000 Chilean Pesos ($97.24) for our 4 stops in Chile.  I read and tried to access the internet, but it was very flaky.  I worked the crossword of the day and at 11:45 I went to trivia.  I mistakenly was delivered 2 start pins for a Mr. & Mrs. Bill Withers with my cabin number on the card.  I gave them to the cabin steward to be returned to the rightful people.  I only got 4 out of 15 correct.  I returned too the cabin try the internet some more.  I finally got through and it is working pretty well again.  I read until time to get ready for the evening.  I went to the Crow's Nest at 6:30 and talked with Don, Karen the Captain's wife, Martha, Jim & Cathy, Sue, and Lydia.  At dinner, Presti, Angel, Phillip and Zaki stopped by the table and talked with me.  After dinner, I returned to the cabin since we are to arrive at Cape Horn at 6:30 tomorrow morning.  My Grand Gift tonight was a map of Pantagomian & Fuegian Channels.  The bed animal was an octopus I think.  I went to bed at 10.
