L'Eau Commotion Westabout

6:00am Sunday 25th March 2018 ( UTC-3 ) Hello John Thank you for this information. It has always been my intention to get the yacht back to a sound seaworthy condition and then sail direct back to Southport under sail alone. Quite a few people have said why don't you cruise through the South Pacific Islands but I've done that and never circumnavigated so though I don't need the incentive it will be a good excuse! Communications and supply are a little more difficult here but this is more than compensated by the great advice and practical assistance I have received from so many yachtsmen resident here in the Falklands. On a different matter I was chuffed to learn that my daughter Katherine Ann with Emma yesterday won the Club Class Australian Double Sculls Championship, an event open to all comers except those who are seeking International selection. She has also been selected in the Queensland Interstate Veterans Eight so I am understandably very proud of her for continuing a family tradition. Regards Bill

Hi Bill, Hope you are well and that things are proceeding OK for you in the Falklands. I realise things are a bit different this time around in that you will have a serviceable craft once more when repairs are complete unlike last time when all you could do was sell up and move on. So, I am just checking to see what your plans are and if you realise that, if you continue around the Horn and if you succeed in getting home OK, you will be eligible for a Performance Certificate for a circumnavigation with one stop, thereby getting into the record books? Not as good as the big first-west-about-non-stop I know, but better than nothing for all your efforts. Cheers John
