How far did you sail in the last 10 days?

Oops. *I see I left out the "non-stop" which makes it a bit more of a
yardstick.

Sucks, I'm a big fan of Skip & co. but I think your challenge is
purely bogus. I don't want to take anything away from Skip at all.
He has lots to say, I enjoy reading his stuff and it's clear to me
that he's having a good time. What more could a reader of rbc want?
But, what's so special about passages made in the last 10 days? Does
that mean I don't get cred for making an offshore passage over more
than twice as many miles this season? None for passages of seasons
past? And whats so special about passage making? It has its joys but
to me the real cruising starts when you've finished the passage and
gotten someplace new and exciting. Discussions around here would be
pretty thin if corespondents had to complete some arbitrarily long
passage before they could post.
