Hi Danny, We were there in the pre-blog era. I am in the process of writing up the 7 years we spent sailing around South America but I am heavily engaged in a bio tech start up which all came about

Hi James, We sailed from Panama to Chile in 2002/3 and then spent two seasons in Chile, mainly in and around the Beagle Channel. Can't say enough about it. The best sailing experiences in 40 years of

I am not at all sure how this fits into the calculations. We’d be interested, but… We have no idea where we will be in that time frame. Right now we are in full cruising mode, which means we
