	Would be a lot less painful to do it at least in part downwind from Russia to Pakistan. That AC72 polar looks good for this one.

	Would be good if someone would take on the responsibility of preparing a kmz or, at a minimum, the coords

	here some markers : From the south coast of Balochistan province somewhere near Port of Karachi, Pakistan (25°25′N 66°25′E) across the Arabian Sea, south-west through Indian Ocean, near Comoros, passing Namaete Canyon, near the South Africa coastline, across the South Atlantic Ocean, then west across Cape Horn, then north-west across the Pacific Ocean, near Easter Island, passing the antipodal point, near Amlia island, through the South Bering Sea and ending somewhere on the east-north coast of Kamchatka, near Ossora (59°38′N 163°24′E). This route is almost 32,000 km (20,000 mi) long.(Map from gcmap) MAP And I agree with dana, from .ru to .pk would be nice, windwise. ______________ edited to make link out of url overlapping column --- Last Edited by dikkehenk at 2013-09-30 18:34:56 --- --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-09-30 18:57:41 ---

	I think the winds would be more favorable traveling east, from Kamcatcha to Pakistan. There is a reason that most round the world races go west to east.

The Beagle in Mauritius 2024

And west, forever following the sun, the Beagle went once more to next explore Australia, but since online we already regularly race the length and breadth of that wee dinkum continent’s coasts, we will delay launching our Tall Ship Class B until the Beagle reaches Mauritius, which she did on 29 April 1836. Darwin explored the island and its coral reefs extensively. We’ll better that by sailing some 450nm to Reunion and back, for a better appreciation of this remote archipelago, inhabited mostly by descendants of French and English colonists and Indian convicts and political prisoners.
