      For those who are interested there is a new video of Howard talking about Southern Cross, his SCAMP, posted on the Below 40 south website WWW.below40south.com. Just go to the site and click on Photos and videos and click on "answering questions at the bow". There are a number of videos about Southern Cross in that section of the website.

        Howard Rice has added a new post to his blog Voyage of Southern Cross. As usual it's inspirational and informative. You find a great video of SCAMP testing there as well.

            High level of finish.

            Well, well. It has been quite a while since the last post. There is a good reason for this - I have been beavering away, trying to get ANNIE B launched while there is still nice weather for sailing....

              Looks great! WOW

              I like the choice of colors too!
              I love the smell of fresh cut plywood in the morning.

                From The Strait of Magellan
                My voyaging SCAMP #2 Southern Cross is headed back to the US in a few weeks. She is currently crated and likely under snow about fifty yards off the shore of the Strait of Magellan just as she came out of the southern ocean after I rescued her.
                She is headed to Seattle and then Port Townsend where she will join me at the Northwest Woodenboat Festival (as is) the weekend of September 8th-10th. I am one of this years featured presenters and look forward to presenting film, stills, a few stories and answering questions about my experiences voyaging south down the Strait of Magellan and into the Southwest Island of Tierra del Fuego. It was a fulfilling yet very difficult voyage. I long to be back there.

                  A high bar finish, well done. You should feel great and now its time to give her a scrape or two!

                        next time Howard goes back there, right beside the Caird, will be a replica of Southern Cross complete with life sized crew figure and dramatic retelling with video footage of the harrowing experience!

                        certainly an inspiration for future adventures and adventurers

                            Congratulations, Howard, on having survived your adventure. I won't be able to make it to Port Townsend, but I look forward to hearing more as you are able to publish.

                            All the best.

                              Well there won't be a life sized figure in the boat but a replica Southern Cross will be there. The Museum is building an exact replica for display....................as strange and surreal as this sounds. I in no manner feel my voyage is deserving of this but they do, go figure.

                                very cool, how many people here have a museum exhibit inspired by their exploits!
                                are you donating your now famous dry suit? it could be worn by the life like manequin... also maybe a representative collection of ships stores and survival gear you used during the night on tough luck island. This display could be inspiring generations of young adventurers to explore who knows where!
