What a coincidence that you should ask about the Helli-pad, as just two days ago I was making the first rough sketch - it was initially aft of the funnel but is now moved toward the bow. The plan is after the Caribbean tour we round the Cape of Good Hope, travel north and fly into Tesoro for inspection & parties with the wealthy informales.

The second plus of the plan is that once around the Cape, by tradition we can have one ear pierced and wear a golden earring. I find it very upsetting when I ask someone with an earring when they sailed around the Horn and they don't have any idea what I am talking about.

Those impostors also get upset when I see a ring in their nose and I ask them how long have you been married?

And many thanks for the great posts - I have all the recent diagrams in my St Elias file!
