Submitted by Ralph Villiger on Wed, 17/07/2013 - 20:34Even though the OSTAR is over, Raph would very much appreciate if you send him personal messages. Here is how: http://ralph.avance.ch/messages.html In fact, sailing to Greenland is just as much a challenge, where the only compagnons might be icebergs. I (Ralphs messaging relay) will be only sporadically online the next two weeks, so expect delays in post (of up to several days). Ivo

Submitted by Ralph Villiger on Mon, 15/07/2013 - 20:22this doesn't feel like sailing to Greenland. first, sailing requires some wind, second, it is hot in my alu can. did global warming push the doldrums to 42N? At least book #11 is another great read.
