2011-07-23 15:51:38 - Norway 22/7/11
I'm sure by now we have all heard the terrible news from Norway. It's hard to imagine something like that happening anywhere, least of all such a peace loving nation.

When I fell asleep the news was reporting 8 people dead, by the time I awoke just a few hours later I was shocked to discover that figure had risen to 95 confirmed dead between the two incidents.

As a new member of SOL I don't know whether it is too off topic or within the ethos of this great gathering of like minded people from around the world, but among our members are many Norwegians, great characters and sailors all, and I can only begin to imagine the shock with which they are watching these events unfold in their own media.

Perish the thought that they have friends or family involved in this tragedy.

So if the Sol gods agree it's appropriate, a small message of solidarity, from us, to all who proudly fly the Norwegian flag, here and beyond.

Our thoughts are with you.

I have no words to describe my sadness to what happened in Norway.
My heart is with all my Norwegian friends.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.
