2012-03-10 14:45:48 - Start of Leg 5
A minor point of inquiry---is the start of Leg 5 of the SOL World Race, 2011-2012, REALLY the 18th of JANUARY, 2012, as set out in the notice board to the right of this column, and also in the NOR?
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Or is it maybe 2011, as written in NOR-text?
And why at 01.00 UTC???

You're right, Sambal --- 2011-----
Boy, did we muck up THAT start!!
(Or has someone invented a time machine, just for SOLers?)

Now it starts on "18 MARCH, 2011"
At least its creeping up now in the NOR. There's a chance for us yet!!!!

0100 UTC is just character building for all the Northern Europeans, still in mid winter hibernating mode.

IRL in NZ it will be a nice sunny afternoon and I will be on one of the course marshall yachts, so I will be starting with DCs as well.

If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
