@dfdelicious,
dfd :
we cruised from valparaiso/chile around the horn and on to lisbon portugal in late march/early april 2006 (about six weeks) .
while there was plenty of wave action - seas up to 15-20 feet - the weather was pretty good - we had a clear view of the horn while rounding the horn .
the weather is really unpredictable , there can be fog one day and sunshine the next .
we thoroughly enjoyed our cruise - even though we were laid low by the norfolk virus for a couple of days - take pepto bismal as a "precaution" along and take it if you feel the slightest twinge in your gut !
we were taking a seasick pill every morning , because once mal de mere hits you , it'll spoil your vacation .
