Good luck.

I figure at my leisurely pace it should take

The question I must ask is could you guys

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 think mid summer is the best time?

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.

But are there fewer gales mid summer than autumn?

Fewer mid summer because the gales tend to travel west to east at lower latitudes
in mid-summer. Autumn is a bad time because the gales are occurring further
north.

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?

Just remember that God and also have your genes hanging onto the keel of
your capsized boat.
I honestly don't want that to happen to you CN, but if it should, I'll try
to snag your pic with my Keyhole satellite software!
