&gt; Ultra mare usque nusquam - out in the cruel North<br/>
&gt; Atlantic lies a tiny speck<br/>
&gt; of granite: Rockall, the most isolated island in the<br/>
&gt; world - no other island<br/>
&gt; around for about 200 miles. About 12 times less<br/>
&gt; people have ever stood on<br/>
&gt; its top than on Mt. Everest, and this within a<br/>
&gt; climbing history about 4<br/>
&gt; times longer than Everest.<br/>

&gt; Who were the kings of Rockall? - WE ARE!!! On 16th<br/>

<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; have hit the<br/>
&gt; only possible weather window allowing a landing<br/>
&gt; operation and have hauled us<br/>
&gt; up to the 20-m-high top, and this &quot;by fair means&quot;!<br/>
&gt; We were goddam&#39;n fu...&#39;n<br/>
&gt; lucky.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; After sailing 48 hours to the west off the Scottish<br/>
&gt; Orkney Islands our<br/>
&gt; mission was completed within 8 hours and 20 minutes,<br/>
&gt; and over 200 radio<br/>
&gt; contacts established world wide from our amateur<br/>
&gt; radio station. The Scottish<br/>
&gt; flag was proudly hoisted, and one of us has even<br/>
&gt; swum around the rock in a<br/>
&gt; remarkable swell - never done by anybody before.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; My personal record: I was the first German since<br/>
&gt; Greenpeace&#39;s 1997<br/>
&gt; occupation, and am the second oldest ever on<br/>
&gt; Rockall.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Expect us next to issue a declaration of<br/>
&gt; independence and a constitution:<br/>
&gt; Long live the People&#39;s Republic of Rockall! Stamps<br/>
&gt; are already printed.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Also in the next weeks watch out for a picture<br/>
&gt; gallery. One pic is attached<br/>
&gt; to stimulate your saliva...<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Setting off for Chechnya, Ingushetia and Dagestan<br/>
&gt; now...<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Best wishes,<br/>
