Beginning to wish I'd never done this. Started on a DC, 5 hours playing poker, come home to see I'm 419th with no idea where anyone else is, basic maths is beyond me, BER Bonzo telling me there's no-one more north except some Slovakian boat, she's probably lying. God, what a mess.

All in all, I could do without seeing my placing....

It's definitely tougher on the nerves! Remember that you're allowed a peek at the fleet each update. Some of us have committed to sailing fully blind, but I'll be checking in once daily.

I'm not going to check in at all. How will I know if anyone has finished? In fact, has everyone finished? :-)

New rule #5 - everyone lie to Baggus. Rule #4 encourages us to support Bonzo, and the unwritten rule #4 1/2 (all in good fun) clearly implies that he be made to suffer.

heh heh. Is there any way in which we can see how this race unfolded after the finish? It's all very weel doing it blind, but I'd like to know where all the fast boats went, then maybe we could work out why. Screen shots every 12 hours perhaps?

I'm doing screenshots every 24 and compositing them. It's going to look super cool!

I suspect that after forgetting about this race for almost a week that I may be a little way adrift......

This year we will race it all in very Meddy Dufour 40’s!

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!
