Abby Sale	Sailing routes to Botany Bay (57* d)	Sailing routes to Botany Bay	26 Jan 07
As All know, the English first settled Australia at Botany Bay today, on Jan 26, 1788. Naturally, I sang "Jim Jones" ("Botany Bay") at the local this week. (Yes, we understand there never was and actual penal colony at Botany Bay but who cares?) [Hu do? Yu do.] A question was raised of the many I cannot answer but have faith Barry or others can. What routes did they take to Botany Bay or other Australia ports later. I know such clipper lines as the later Black Ball had regular runs but now how. It was suggested that they might actually have had to round both the Cape and the Horn to get there and home. ?
