- I have no experience with Drogue, never had to use one.
If you read through the above caption on S.A, you get an idea of what it is.

- " I am sure this letter comes as a surprise, but I've got a lot of time on my hands and thought I'd drop you a line. I'm writing this at 37deg. S. Latitude, 140deg. W longitude about a week out of Pitcairn Island (if the storm coming along in the next few hours doesn' do me in, and the umpteen ones rolling in behind it). Two weeks or so far from the Chatams, which are a small group of islands about 450 miles southeast of New Zealand.
The weather has been mostly miserable, with the wind almost constantly out of the north. that seems to be a problem in the Southern Ocean.
- My own note: the letter will read like a novel. So have the patience for me to copy. (to be continued). Meantime, the news that prompted this segment in the Blog.
