	Was indeed the case. It was at the height of the sanctions and it was a political decision to bypass S.A. (Isolation years) I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

	My SAF friends in Aus tell me that the sporting sanctions (particularly cricket and rugby) had a greater effect than the economic bans and any diplomatic lobbying against apartheid. --- Last Edited by Tyger / Robert Neilson at 2013-12-30 09:02:17 --- “We may have arrived on different ships, but we are all in the same boat now!” Martin Luther King Jr.

	That is correct to a certain degree. S.A. was self reliant to a large extent for quite a number of years. The sport and cultural blockade hurt more for many as it seemed that the world would literally ignore us and pass us by... In other ways it was the silent economic blockade that slowly strangled the business sector as imports of foreign goods was not allowed... Sport was the key though imo... It managed (eventually)to do a lot in ridding S.A of apartheid I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

	Log Entry #01 02JAN1900Z start brought 16kt winds from the south that freshened to the low 20s in the next two hours and clocked marginally. The fleet fanned out north of the rhumb-line, with no single strategy standing out against the others.

	Are there more log entries to come, javakeda? I'm sure it's not only me that (will) appreciate(s) them

	Quite so... send them log entries I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

	Was just thinking it would not only be fun/cool to have log entries from javakeda but also, if we could find em, notes from Steinlager's own sail back in 1989 ... any ideas how we could get hold of them?

	That would be incredibly awesome... I'll do some digging if I can get in touch with the navigator on the race (who gave me the boat polar) and see if he has a copy of the log I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

	Does anyone know the leg times in the 1989 whitbread? I can only find the total time and start times.
