What's this?! ... soft and lazy Danes ...?

Where's my horned helmet?

The starting point of most Danish viking raids was the biggest of the ring forts, Aggersborg.

However, the horrific and despicable act of sacking and looting the peaceful monastery in Lindisfarne must have been Norwegian raiders :-)

The polar is now set/reviewed and ready to race. The raid itself, according to history, was in June so... in June 2012 SOL will attempt to replicate the arrival of the longships at Lindisfarne on 8 June!!

At last!! :-D

This is what the polar looks like:

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!
