Race Report at 0120z:

At this time most participants had left their fortunes to their autopilots.

They passed the southern point of Capri in this order:

1-Zero
2-Smo (very close to leader
3-Tazumaki/mk (together)

5-K1W1
...and, RC (reverse rounding,) Spookie, Sassy, newsartist (reverse also)

Still approaching after 'adventures' or late starts, Stoertebaeker, rdoorn, Glynnwi, croc, and 76Trombones.

With 14 boats, our largest Match Race field to date?

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.
