Andrew came on the phone this evening exclaiming he has had a very exciting days sailing! He and Elsi have been getting slowly closer to Cape Horn with still somewhat variable winds until this afternoon. He said the welcome Southerly winds this afternoon, drove Elsi as hard as she has ever sailed. Andrew chose to keep her sails up and take full advantage of the welcome wind direction.

Hams on the Yahoo Winlink_Programs_Group are watching Andrew’s progress with interest.
They are also wondering why there are no Winlink 2000 RMS’s in southern South America.
Works are on the way to rectify this.
So hopefully future Cape Horners will have easy access to the excellent Winlink 2000 ham HF SSB email system.

Hi Alyson and Andrew,
Just wanted to say how amazing this is. I remember chatting back in September just as I was leaving and you two were about to embark on this fantastic year. Great to see that it is all continuing, I have thought about you when these storms were hitting over the months and hoped that all was ok, where you were.
Safe journey, I’ll be sure to keep an eye now that I have found the blog x
