1979 I LEFT SWEDEN IN ALUMINUM BRIS TO THE RIGHT IN THE PICTURE

IF I REMEMBER RIGHT I SAILED THROUGH LE MAIRE STRAIGHT 13 JUNE 1980. THE DAY STARTED OUT FINE BUT TOWARDS THE EVENING THERE WAS A FULL GALE BLOWING AND A EIGHT TO ELEVEN KNOT TIDE AGAINST ME. THIS WAS BEFORE GPS AND WAS DIFFICULT. DUE TO A CONFLICT BET

THE 16 OF JUNE I ROUNDED CAPE HORN EAST TO WEST. DUE TO CORROSION I HAD TO INTERRUPT THE VOYAGE. I TURNED EAST AND SAILED TO THE FALKLAND ISLANDS WHERE I ARRIVED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MIDVINTER NIGHT THE 21 OF JUNE. IT HAD BEEN A DARK A COLD VOYAGE.

TIED UP TO A VERY EXPOSED DOCK TO THE STRONG WINDS AND STANLY HARBORS LONG FETCH FOUR NAUTICAL MILES IF I REMEMBER RIGHT. THREE TIMES DURING MY FOUR MONTHS STAY THE WIND SPEED REACHED 100 KNOTS.

THERE WAS ALWAYS MANY ONLOOKERS

THE INTENTION WAS TO ROUND CAPE HORN BUT AFTER BEING CAPSIZED AND PITCHPOOLED OF WAVES LIKE THIS BRIS HEADED EAST REACHING TRISTAN DA CUHNA AFTER TWO MONTHS

THE ISLAND IS MORA THAN 2000 METER HIGH AND WAS SIGHTED FAR OFF ON A FINE DAY

THERE IS NO PROTECTED HARBOUR ON TRISTAN. ALL BOATS ARE HAULED OUT. BRIS CAN BE SEEN ON THE QUAYSIDE BEHIND THE LONGBOATS. BRIS WAS THE FIRST YACHT TO LAND ON TRISTAN

A CHANGE OF BOATS. 1978 THE FIRST BRIS IS REPLACED BY THE ALUMINUM BRIS. IN HER I SUCCESSFULLY ROUNDED CAPE HORN 1980. UNFORTUNATELY THE ALUMINUM BOAT DID NOT STAND UP TO THE SALT WATER. THERE WAS MUCH CORROSION. LATER THE COMPANY WHICH HAD SUPPLIED THE ALUMINUM STOLE HER AND MELTED HER DOWN. SHE IS NO MORE.
