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.

I like the boats. Nice design. It is amazing he finds mid-life crisis
novices to pay him the big fees, when they could find cheaper ways
around the world.

When you consider the watches are only 1 hour long, it is light duty
watchkeeping.

Big deal. A bunch of pompous rich fools trying to buy their
way around the world because they are too timid to attempt
doing it on their own.

Wussies!

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

The boats are very nice. I might consider being a skippper
depending on the pay. All you have to do is figure out how
to keep the crew busy, or sedated...
