Report on an AMIB sponsored evening at the Ag Hall -- A Leisurely Sail Around Cape Horn March 20th 7 pm. 2015 in the Ag Hall. In 1997 Mayne Island resident, Allen Slade, crewed on Northanger, a 54 ft. steel hulled Damian 2 ketch that went on a 3 week trip around Cape Horn, South America. Allen's trip started from Ushuaia, considered the most southerly city in the world and went east through areas with fabled names such as the Darwin Range and Beagle Channel. |
