Southern Cross is in and sailing

Here's the proof.

For those not in the know, "Southern Cross" is Howard Rice's customised SCAMP, built specifically for a voyage of exploration along the southern coast of Chile from Punta Arenas in the Straights of Magellan out into the southern ocean and south toward Cape Horn.
Howard has been preparing for this voyage for some years now, and its going to happen this southern summer.

Please note, we have a very generous donor who will donate a dollar for every dollar we raise toward the video production, if you'd like to see the movie please consider putting in a few bucks to help us get it filmed and produced. Every dollar you put in, with our donor helping, becomes two dollars.

I went to Chile with Howard back in March to check out facilities and what we had to work with in Chile, had a great time and got a lot of background material videoed. We have a base, a place to stay, made contact with the Armada de Chile who were very helpful, and David Nicholls of Lutra Productions and I are very much looking forward to being there when Howard sets sail.

  2. Dear John, YouTube shows "Deze video is door de gebruiker verwijderd."("This video has been removed by the user" in Dutch)
    Any ideas where I might be able to watch it?
