Should be a fun evening.
We're off to the Global Challenge prize giving dinner at Sydneys Star
City Casino this evening.

It will be interesting chatting with the amateurs who have taken the
challenge and the leggers who are preparing to sail the
Sydney/CapeTown leg starting Sunday.


That does sound like an interesting dinner. Is Chay Blythe going to be
there himself? Does the Global Challenge group solicit donations to keep
the project going or do the paying passengers bring in enough to keep it
floating? I was pretty surprised they raised enough money to build those
boats and managed to keep it going this long. It's an outstanding ocean
racing event and seems to be under the radar of most of the sailing press.
