Should have guessed it - a couple more faggots. Pretty soon
they will have taken over here. We already have Booby, Ganz,
DSK, Shen44, Morris, otnmbrd, Stevie, Loco, Oz1, Donal,
the Carrolls, and these are just the ones who have come out.

First, if you're a sailor and you've ever REALLY wanted to feel alive,
take
a trip like this. Your perspective on life will change
For you've ever wanted to sail around Cape Horn or through the Beagle
Channel, take a look at www.manboat.com to see some incredible photos.
Many
of these could be made into posters. If you check the links (on the
left)
you will see some spectacular shots taken in the Beagle Channel that you
won't find anywhere else on this planet.
During this trip, there were times when we wondered what the hell we
were
thinking or drinking when we left our relatively safe anchorage and
found
that we were being blasted by horizontal wind and water in 30+ ft seas
and
winds upwards of 60 knots. We had to postpone the rounding for one day
because Cape Horn was registering 75 knot "breezes." Many of the shots
on
the www.manboat.com were taken during our delay from the top of Hermit
Island (about 22 miles WNW of Cape Horn). Check the photo on the top
right
of the homepage where the sun is trying to break through. Click on it to
supersize. Pretty awe inspiring, huh? As I find time, I'm going to put
some audio of the trip and a Video taken during the sail around Cape
Horn on
the site -- if anyone is interested.
By the way, when you're in 8 to 12 meter seas and 60+ knot winds, you
can't keep the boat within 30 degrees of a heading. Nor can you look to
windward. Nor can you hear anything except screaming, howling wind with
the
sound and feel of something like birdshot hitting your foul weather
gear.
There are a lot of links on the page, but the ones on the left are
pretty
descriptive.
If there's enough interest in the photos I'll put up several hundred
more
along with the audio and video clips. The audio is really pretty
interesting
since it was captured at various periods of the trip. You can hear what
happens when a Williwaw hits. All I've read about them turns out to be
real -- during one five minute period I was standing on deck in 5 knot
winds
and two minutes later we had 70 knot winds ... and we were on the
leeward
side of a 1500' island. I suddenly understood what Joshua Slocum meant
when
he said that a tree would have to be all roots to grow in that area.
For those who notice, some of the photos from the top of Cape Horn are
reversed (courtesy of the developer). I've flipped most of them around,
but
just so you'll know, the 100' high slab that has split off and stands
apart
should be on the left (or southern) side of the photo.
Was it fun? YES, it was awesome! Was it dangerous? Well . . . no more
than
riding a motor scooter on an LA Freeway. Was it worth it? God, YES! For
a
sailor it was the trip of a lifetime. Life has never felt so good as it
does
when you're looking it straight in the eye.
I want to go back!
Hope you enjoy the site,
Spence

"Wild Goose" indeed. If that isn't a faggot name for a boat
there never was one. But, it's the photos of you with your
arms around your boyfriend that undeniably prove your
deviance. We don't want it here.

P.S. I don't take advice from queers.
