    Talk about a "small world''  Adrian and Sue and the lads are here in Hong Kong!  Nice family and Adrian has kindly helped me get the hang of soldering as well as wiring up our windlass. They've been cruising 10 years to mainly out of the way places. I think it was YM that ran the competition that one of Sue's cruising articles won, hence the editor knowing that they even existed.

    A good point Arne. I guess he was confining his list to post war.

                                                                 Stavanger, Sunday evening

                                          What about JS??

    I wouldn’t put too much weight on that YM list of 25 cruising heroes. The fact that Joshua Slocum was not even mentioned in the article, says it all.

    "Joshua Who? He certainly can’t be one of us - must be a foreigner..."

    Good grief, how one-eyed can one get? Letting out Captain Slocum from a shortlist of cruising heroes is like letting out Jurij Gagarin or John Glenn from a list of great astronauts...

    Annie Hill wrote:Also slightly confused as to why Annie is on the list but Pete Hill isn't.

    As David pointed out, this is a personal list.  Pete is not a Siamese twin of Annie and maybe Paul Gelder does not regard him as a personal hero.  For myself, I am pretty pleased to be regarded as an individual in my own right.


    Methinks a letter to the new Editor of Yachting Monthly pointing out that as 15% of Gelder's list sailed or sail junks the rig should get much more coverage in his magazine.

    This I have done - also pointing out rumours of my living ashore are greatly exaggerated.

    You will be pleased to hear that there will be a little piece on Fantail in next month's Yachting Monthly
    So was it just me who always thought of Pete Hill as "Annie Hill's husband?"  O'course, from the middle of this durn continent...

    A while back you said that getting junks mentioned in any mag was well near impossible. So the trick is...?

    Have a great relationship with the editor.  But now he's retired :-(

    Well done, Annie, on writing to the new Editor as above, and great news about Fantail in YM. A while back you said that getting junks mentioned in any mag was well near impossible. So the trick is...?

    No problema, Peter.  Paul's list is certainly idiosyncratic, but i am chuffed to death to be included in it!

    Annie,

    I did not mean to imply that you are siamese twins. 

    I apologise if I have offended you.

    As the author of a dangerous book I think we have all realised that Annie.:)
