Subject: RE: BS: Bound for Cape Horn! From: Liz the Squeak Date: 03 Jun 07 - 03:55 AM Ah Jack, I'm proud of you!! (mind you, in my experience, outdrinking most Yanks is dead easy!) Phot - lots of fresh air is good for a cold, so make sure those windows are open 24/7! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Bound for Cape Horn! From: Phot Date: 03 Jun 07 - 06:50 AM The only windows on here are on the bridge! Besides, if I had a window in my mess and it was open, we'd sink! I sleep below the water line! Wassail! Chris. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bound for Cape Horn! From: GUEST,Phot, Having a beer in Chile! Date: 06 Jun 07 - 05:08 PM Ola! Well I´m in Iquique, and still haven´t found Jack, I think he´s still working his way overland to Valipriso. The ships at anchor, so it´s a boat transfer to the shore, but this place is great, fantastic history, beautiful streets and museums, cheap food and beer, but don´t come out after dark! It gets a bit scary, as some of the Yanks found out last night. I´m back off to the ship in an hour, but I´ll be back tomorrow with my gear, there are some cracking shots to be had here. It´s a shame that the weather is so bad, as the mountains would make a fantastic backdrop to the harbour! Wassail!! Chris. We´ve sailed round the world lads, To ports without number, To Chile for nitrate, St Fraiser for lumber......... |

Subject: RE: BS: Bound for Cape Horn! From: GUEST,Jack, On the road Date: 07 Jun 07 - 01:49 PM Ola!! It is me again. Chris buggered off in his boat thing before I get back, so I has been on der road to try an catch up wiv im. Dis is a brill place, it´s not very wide, bit it´s really long. But all der local mutts ave bin showin me der sights, an lettin I sleep in their dens. I got to dis place called Iquique yesterday, an I could see Chris´ boat in der harbour, but I can´t get back on as I can´t swim dat far. So I spent der night in der bar! My head hurts dis mornin, der rum stuff dey hav ere is called ¨Havin a Club¨ is it caus what it makes your head feel like in der mornin? I needs to get back on der boat cause me paws is all sore from all dis walkin, an I really wants to come ome to see Joline an der pups. I has bin away far too long. Cheers all! Jack |

Subject: RE: BS: Bound for Cape Horn! From: GUEST,Phot in Valipriso Date: 13 Jun 07 - 02:02 PM Morning all! Greetings from a very wet Valipriso! Been ashore photographing the Skipper this morning, I get to go ashore properly tomorrow. There are Penguins swimming in the harbour here! How cool is that?! Wassail!! Chris. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bound for Cape Horn! From: GUEST,Phot, still heading for Patagonia! Date: 18 Jun 07 - 12:41 PM So thats what happens when you hit the wrong key on the keyboard! Well I'm not going round Cape Horn, as it's too dangerous for a Type 42! So we're going through the Patagonian channels to get to the Falklands. Valipriso was a great place to visit, a bit rough at night, but the local authorities are spending lots of cash in improving the place, I assume to attract the tourist dollar. Jack dissapeared first night in, and re-appeared in the morning stained with red wine and smelling faintly of cheap perfume, I think he may have a few things to explain to Joline............. Only just over a week until I fly back home now, Hurrah!! But it's 18 hours flying in a 747, with a one hour stop in Asension Island! I hate flying! Help! Wassail!! Chris. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bound for Cape Horn! From: Charley Noble Date: 18 Jun 07 - 12:43 PM Patagonia? Yes, it's one of the best places to buy high quality outdoor wear. Nothing like product placement in these threads. I make millions! Cheerily, Charley "Fats" Noble |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Bound for Cape Horn! From: MMario Date: 18 Jun 07 - 12:44 PM Jack probably has less to explain then if he returned stained with cheap perfume and smelling of red wine. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bound for Cape Horn! From: Liz the Squeak Date: 18 Jun 07 - 04:49 PM You're going to Ascension? Wave at my brother in law as you go over St Helena... I leave the choice of apendage to you! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Bound for Cape Horn! From: Schantieman Date: 19 Jun 07 - 01:26 PM Cape Horn too dangerous for a Type 42!!!???? Good Grief!! What is the world coming to? If 200-ton wooded sailing ships can do it and 7-ton (and smaller) yachts too for that matter, what the hell's the matter with a 4000 ton steel warship? You wouldn't get Chichester, Rose, Knox-Jonston or even MacArthur going through the Magellan Strait - AND it's the easy way round. Don't let THAT get into the papers, after the CORNWALL fiasco! (btw, did anyone hear the item about that, accompanied by a parody of 'Drunken Sailor' on R4 this morning?) Steve (who's never been nearer than 10 000M to Cape Horn!) |

Subject: RE: BS: Bound for Cape Horn! From: GUEST,Phot, Rocking and rolling! Date: 19 Jun 07 - 06:42 PM Hey Steve, we're no where near it yet, and we have 40 foot swells, and sea state five, hold onto your hats, it's gonna be a bumpy ride! Wassail!! Chris. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bound for Cape Horn! From: Liz the Squeak Date: 20 Jun 07 - 04:32 AM Ah... Heave to! Remember, never heave into the wind! If I were there, it wouldn't be my hat I were holding on to! Good luck Phot... brace yourself! LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Bound for Cape Horn! From: Keith A of Hertford Date: 20 Jun 07 - 06:47 AM The 1 hour stop at Ascension sometimes stretches when the aircraft goes US. The aircrew are usually only too pleased. Try to get a swim at Comfortless Cove and take a look at the little sailors' cemetry there. Keith. |

Subject: RE: BS: Bound for Cape Horn! From: GUEST,Phot in Magellan straits Date: 21 Jun 07 - 01:00 PM Well thats the Patagonian canals done! So I'm back in the Atlantic, almost!

Subject: RE: BS: Bound for Cape Horn! From: Charley Noble Date: 25 Jun 07 - 10:37 AM Chris- Did you find any sheep left in the Falklands? There was a rumour that after the late conflict with the Argentinians the herds were decimated, as they were shipped back to England as war brides. Cheerily, Charley Ignoble |

Subject: RE: BS: Bound for Cape Horn! From: Liz the Squeak Date: 25 Jun 07 - 01:00 PM Are they still 'SB's? LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Bound for Cape Horn! From: Dave Earl Date: 25 Jun 07 - 06:34 PM When my brother (mum,s No.5 son) was down in The Falklands with the RAF he sent a message home saying that the meat from sheep was called 365. What the natives eat every day it seems. I'll get me (sheepskin) coat Dave |
