Commentary

Eighty-two of the ninety-three SOLers that entered for this our fifth race of the Magical Mediterranean Series got away on time or thereabouts from Thessaloniki in their stately Swan 65's to be immediately confronted by a very light and variable air wafting across the Thermaic Gulf. Far away in the main Aegean Sea, there was the promise of strong steady Meltemi wind, but who would get there first? Turned out it wasn't going to be any of the early leaders working their way directly east out of the Gulf. Instead a pair of intrepid brothers, cdhinman and rthinman, had found a SLC (sly little canal).

The Potidaian Canal is a historic, clean cut of less than 1nm though the Cassandra peninsula into the more northerly Toroneos Gulf, but a fixed bridge placed across it in 1970 only has a clear height above datum of 16m, but as we know, that doesn't daunt SOLers, and certainly not intrepid ones. Quickly through the Cassandra peninsula then, the winds soon turned very favourable for our pathfinding pair, who duly went into the lead.

However, once out in the big breeze, there were still more than 500nm to go, and as one WX followed the next, some of the usual suspects steadily sailed back into the lead, with WRmirekd finally crossing the line at Port Said with a comfortable lead of several minutes from Jan and YANN.
GRATULACJE Miroslaw!!
