On this
day in 1618 Walter Raleigh was beheaded on the pretext of treason, in reality it
was to appease the Spanish who were after revenge after all the privateering and
such like Raleigh and his cousins Drake and Grenville and their buddy Hawkins
had engaged in.
And now

factually inaccurate reconstruction of Raleigh's life (the ending is ace though)
:















In November Sahar Dimus, our guide on four CFZ Sumatra expeditions, died of liver failure leaving a widow Lucy and four Children. On the 2nd November, Dezyama D. Sangma, wife of our friend and colleague Dipu Marak, our collaborator on the 2010 Indian expedition died, leaving her grieving husband and two small children.
