Posted by newsartist Posts 41 Registered at 2009-08-20 03:01:55	2010-03-20 14:14:41 - KEY LIME Practice Match Racing
	Post annotated by RainbowChaser : This thread was moved from the category Races. We have a new chart with lots of islands, but little time.... For discussion, and NOT FINAL! I suggest a first race from the Key Lime Start location to Marathon Key. (24.720n 81.070w) That is a big target for beaching at night, and provides many short courses for Sunday Monday racing from there. Provisional start time today 1800z ??? Please post thoughts here, or on an active chat where you see the usual suspects.

	OR... just up to Sanibel Island (26.442 / 82.030) ... a distance of 30nm. Current forecast winds are 6-7kts from 130d, so this would be doable in roughly 4hrs or so.

	Or around island group at 81.69 25.87 then beach island NE start 81.75 25.98 would be maybe 20nm and very diverse..

	My suggestion is the following - due to the possible late arrival of some matchracers at today's start at Marathon Key (24.72 / 81.07) - why not a short run round a couple of the Keys and then back "home". Start: 1800utc From: Marathon Key (24.72 / 81.07 ) To and round: island at 24.67 / 81.26 To and round: island at 24.82 / 80.82 Finish: Marathon Key start point. Distance - v roughly 70nm I think this takes account of the varying wind? What do you think please!!

	Suggestion for a Monday race? 1800z Start??? (or 1700?) -Start at Marathon location (as today's Finish) -Round Cay ~20mi/9.3 degrees from start -Round island at 24.88n 80.69w -Return to start. This is an ~60 nm course with good forecast wind angles on all legs.

Kamchatsky to Tromsoe 2024

Just before the light failed entirely in Antarctica, Skip Novak managed to get his Pelagic 77 out of the ice and north up the Pacific to Kamchatsky. The sun is shining (24/7) and not a penguin to be seen, and Skip believes the Norh East Passage is ice-free (sufficiently) to attempt it, so all aboard for a c 4250nm voyage from east to west across the top of Siberia, Russia and Norway to Tromsoe!
