rie Island .
No wonder any early settlers p1ssed off pretty quick.
Anyway found this bit on wiki ...
'The daily average temperature ranges from 3.2 °C (37.8 °F) in June and July to 7 °C (45 °F) in January. Precipitation occurs fairly evenly throughout the year and averages 917 mm (36.1 in) per year.'
In other words the summer is like ermmm, well ,winter. It never gets much above 12c ,never below 0c ...no snow ,a paltry
900 hours of sun ,rain nay drizzle almost every day ,constant wind and fog ..
Jeez ,this place sounds worse than Scotland !!!

I've found a better one would you believe . lol
Try 650 hours of sunshine and some real depressing days to wake up to before probably deciding to top yourself ...that's if boredom hadn't killed you first . Campbell Island ,New Zealand he island receives only 650 hours of bright sunshine annually and it can expect less than an hour's sunshine on 215 days (59%) of the year. The peaks of the island are frequently obscured by cloud. It has an annual rainfall of 1,450 millimetres (57 in), with rain, mainly light showers or drizzle, falling on an average of 325 days a year. It is a windy place, with gusts of over 96 kilometres per hour (50 kn) occurring on at least 100 days each year. Variations in daily and annual temperatures are small with a mean annual temperature of 6 °C (43 °F), rarely rising above 12 °C (54 °F).[1] |

Are these both subantartic islands? If so there are a range of ones to choose from that all sound pretty bad - watched a program on the Crozet Islands once which sound similar to your ones

I would like to visit them if I get the chance, although seems unlikely given that on a couple of people live there - I do think the odd boat goes by every now and then though

Do you know of the sailing book that touches on that area - Alone through the roaring Forties by Vito Dumas, worth a read
