I'm fitting this race and a re-run of the Sydney Auckland tall ship race around the forthcoming sailonline world race. I pencilled in the tall ship race in November, but can easily switch these.

6 October - comments from chat:

Too bad the mark at Rose Spit is not further into the Strait. Be nice to get back outside into the wind after rounding. IRL if you cut that corner close you'll run aground.

Also IRL there is a strait betweem Graham Is and Moresby Is. There is a narrow section in the middle of that passage that is probably like Deception Pass when the tides run through.

Our 2016 Autumn Migration is coming to a close but hopefully we'll be back soon to Isla Magdalena - perhaps even for a return, Spring race, back up to the feeding grounds!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
