	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!

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!
