Love it, but I'm sad to say that the name Finisterre was dropped about 20 years ago. It's now Fitzroy.

They say behind every cloud there is a silver lining.
These clouds seem to have a different lining.

Happy Birthday Espross.
When we crossed the equator I would ask the passengers onboard if they saw the dotted line.
When they said no, I would say, "well be must have sailed through one of the gaps".
