Not a lot I can add. Ship was Canadian Pacific. British officers and Philippino crew. No stopovers, (not really anywhere to stop on that run.) Once you get down in the South Pacific ships are few and far between. I think we went quite a number of days without seeing another ship. I believe Point Nemo is well over 1000 miles from any point of land (you can Google that.) I seem to remember an albatross accompanied us for several days but that's not so unusual down that way.
We had two celebration drinks, Point Nemo and going around Cape Horn.
All the bad weather came once we'd got into the Atlantic, as June is midwinter down in those latitudes.
I honestly can't remember how long that journey took, but I'd say about 3 weeks. The old memory neurons aren't firing so well after 40 years.
