 20ft Flicka round the world 
via the Straits of Magellan
visits Horta on the way home to UK



I was in Horta and saw this brave boat - arrived to no fanfare or TV news
but if a voyager deserves to be interviewed this is one.

Here is a youtube video from Falklands Islands TV


I took lots of pictures (Click them to see larger versions)
because there were many interesting details -
note that the standing rigging is Synthetic - DYNEEMA, and not wire -
super strong and super light, executed almost the same as I did on
Cagarro with some small variations.
