The roaring forties are down that way so maybe you could - from west to east perhaps.

I hope the Sea Areas map helped! <br /><br />Consult Wiki and Google Maps for more detail on North and South Utsira. <br /><br />Sea area Fitzroy used to be called Finisterre, but the French objected, with some justificsation, because Finisterre is also part of mainland France.<br /><br />Wiki tells me that a "bight" (as in German Bight, see map) is a broad bay, traditionally "a bay that can be crossed in a sailing boat on a single tack, regardless of the wind direction." How do we survive without such knowledge!!Doctor FTSEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052101566471519778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478273688536973765.post-70297389578363736082011-10-24T09:52:26.748+01:002011-10-24T09:52:26.748+01:00This took me back to my childhood when I would lis...This took me back to my childhood when I would listen to the radio in bed.
