But are there fewer gales mid summer than autumn?

Fewer winter gales in mid-summer. It's the sensible time
to attack Cape Horn. One could freeze to death in the
winter before making it around.

You think mid summer is the best time?

It's not all that difficult given the right time of year
which would be mid-winter here, mid-summer there.
Every real sailor should round the great Capes to
starboard. That's what sailboats and sailors were
created to do - thwart the will of God!
God loves nothing better than to see a man doing
that which God has made very difficult or near
impossible. God put it in our genes.

You wan't to go 'round the Horn in your boat from east to west?
Good luck.

The Caribbean is becoming old hat though
the Bahamas still have many locales I have
not seen.
I'm kicking around the possibility of going
'round the Horn and heading off to the
South Sea islands. Of course, I would
continue around to close the circle.
I figure at my leisurely pace it should take
three or four years.
The question I must ask is could you guys
and gals survive that long without me?
