Yes, that is correct. March is probably the best time but the gales are no
less terrible. The seas are steep and beating into them takes a vessel
that drives into a breaking sea well. I'm not sure that Bill Trip designed
the 27 with beating into the screaming 50's and Cape Horn in mind. Forget
using your outboard to help. Perhaps you might like to consider the
Straits instead?

But are there fewer gales mid summer than autumn?

Fewer winter gales in mid-summer. It's the sensible time

You think mid summer is the best time?

It's not all that difficult given the right time of year

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.

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?

Do you think that heavy steel boat could keep up with
my modern GRP machine?

I think I'd like to hit Viet Nam. Might be able to find
a suitable mate there who has not been spoiled by
western philosophy.

to the bakers, Howland, Gilberts, Tarawa, Marshall's, Wake, Marcus,
Phillippines, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore, Sri Lanka, India,
Pakistan, Iran ,Kuwait, Oman, Yeman, Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Italy,
Spain, Carninals, Florida.

With the right equipment onboard you could update the group as you
go. But it would have to be a pay to view website to make it worth
while.

Face it Nav, Cappy is a dirty old man living in what amounts to a
cardboard box while he trawls the internet looking fo pics of naked or
semi naked women, all whom are well out of his reach, while spinning
stories of his conquest of young girls in Cuba.

He's a cat, Nav.....


Now that's more like it! BUT a cat?
