Today my brother Heathy died after losing the last battle of an impossible war. Today is a day of peace for him, remembrance for the family, and love for all.
Just came across your site while browsing and it appeared you sailed around the world. I have a cousin who spent about 25 years on a scooner named La Papillion and they primarily stayed in St. John for many years. But they made port in South Africa, Australia, to many islands for me to remember, Ireland, making several transatlantic crossings with no electric, sails only. Then I read of the death of your brother. My condolences and wishes of peace in your heart knowing he is in a far better place than the rest of us. Don't be thrown off by my blog name, there is an explanation for that on my blogspot. I am as malicious as a bunny rabbit. :) Blessings, Mal
Few boats have ever sailed through this blind pass of Caroline Island, like a cul-de-sac. Maybe as few as five in the last fifteen years. The seas are often confused and the visibility poor. I had a friend, Hugh, up on the spreaders, directing me on the VHF; you can hear him in the background. Herbert is commentating.
NZ - CHILE: travel inland for summer, sail south in winter
ANTARCTICA: this is my real dream
TUAMOTUS: I want to traverse them SE - NW. Dive exploration
GREENLAND
THE GEAT RIVERS

thanks for the kind words.....I'll keep a lookout for La Papilion. Hopefully she's still out there somewhere.
