	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: http://sailing.reddolphin.com/2014/03/03/rtw-race-leg2----the-start.aspx

	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!!

	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!"

Round Greenland 2024

Just as Skip Novak was embarking for Kamchatsky, Amyr Klink also quietly slipped his Antarctica moorings and by now Paratii 2 has reached Reykjavik, where he invites you to join him on Leg 5 of our High Latitudes Series, a full 3650nm circumnavigation of Greenland. The course is clockwise round, so down the North Atlantic to Cape Farewell, then up the Davis Strait into Baffin Bay and on into the Arctic Ocean proper, where, hopefully and certainly virtually, Paratii 2’s special ice-breaker features will get us thorough the summer ice out onto the Greenland Sea and back to Reykjavik. Stay warm!
