Cape Horn conjures up images of wind-whipped waters and desperate mariners in frozen rigging. Long recognized as a maritime touchstone for sailors, it marks the spot where the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans meet in one writhing mass. "Doubling" Cape Horn became the ultimate test, earning a prominent place in Maine maritime history. At the end of South America, it shares longitude 67° west exactly with Cutler, Maine, a direct north-south line of seven thousand miles. Maine Cape Horners were recognized by a golden earring. If they did not survive this most difficult journey in the world, the earring covered the costs of their funeral, should the body ever be found. Maritime historian Charles H. Lagerbom traveled to the end of the world to help research this exciting story of bold Mainers and their exhilarating and oftentimes deadly dance with danger.

Cape Horn is the ultimate cruising destination. Join a crew of skilled and veteran sailors as they step outside their responsible shore side lives and take up the gauntlet of a 16,000 mile passage to the ends of the earth. Their blueprint for expedition style cruising and the development of the survivalist mindset necessary to safely cruise Patagonia and visit Cape Horn is described in detail. R. J. Rubadeau is an award winning writer and lifelong adventurer with a passion for ocean voyaging and writing entertaining narratives of his journeys. Important lessons of the cruising life and shipboard laughs are spliced into a richly-seasoned chowder of experiences at the edge of the world. Come aboard.R. J. Rubadeau is one helluva good writer. Give him a canvas on which to paint something deep and broad--something like a long sea voyage from Maine to Cape Horn and something irresistible emerges. This narrative describes a special journey, and is a remarkable book: by turns funny, profound, instructional, conversational, insightful. It's terrific. Do yourself a favor. Pick it up.Herb McCormick, Executive Editor CRUISING WORLD
