I pledge to sail SOTP for these races. Not a big commitment as it is how I always sail.
Hopefully all entrants will sail SOTP so that we won't be able to check our individual dead reckoning against those that use routers and other aids.

I do solemnly declare that in GGR 2018 I'll sail the SOTP, the whole SOTP, and nothing but the SOTP.

...so G, help me!

I do hereby state that for the Feeder race and the two races of the Golden Globe Race 2018 I shall most certainly not use a router (I only occasionally do), so be prepared to see my name of Goddess of Windholes reinstated as my unerring ability to find "blue goo" and remain in it will undoubtedly return!

Red Eye - Bimini Beach Run 2025

Africa by Sea - Abidjan to Swakopmund


Our exploration of Africa by Sea continues. Next, it’s off to Swakopmund, on the water’s edge of the Kalahari desert. It’s a wind-blasted coast, and a venue of choice for those seeking to set wind-powered speed records. More likely than not, we’ll have to beat into it in our Steinlager II, to finally find some shelter behind the walls of Platz am Meer where there is a marina of sorts. Only 2200nm!
