Leg #2 of the RTW race got underway today on schedule.
391 boats went their separate ways.

I logged the start in a blog that allows me to intermix text and images.

Here is a link to that post:

Hi Jawz, email sent mate.

Hirilonde, no. Icegates were not in place in the Whitbread races... Made for some hair-raising sailing... especially at night
I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

javakeda - so sorry to hear you were crook for a lot of this leg.. your blog had the makings of an excellent resource.

Will you be updating it at all? I'll be linking to the first post (about the start) in the Podium blogpost presently .. would be v cool to have an overview of the leg in its entirety and, thus far, no-one has done one!!

:-D

Hi Folks

Here are my workings for the Race Results Legs 1 through 3 in excel format(Values only).
Two sheets. One for the Overall Positions and the other for Elapsed Time.

Enjoy :)

I wonder why the registration for the next leg is left so late? Some of us have to go about our business early tomorrow morning for a few days in Africa, with no/little signal - so, in my case can't even set any course for the start - why?
Thanks

This is my favorite time in an Ocean race. It's all about weather forecasting.

Later, when the forecasts are 'in' for each skipper, it will be more about routing and execution of that route.

But right now, it's about where the major systems will be [and when] in the next two weeks ... from Auckland to The Horn.

After The Horn is a second race ... probably 5-7 days ... again with a weather forecasting element to it ... but more a routing exercise.

Looks like the fleet will clear the East Cape of NZL in perhaps less than a day after the start.

Then, it's "Katie bar the door!"

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.
