Hi all,
I just noticed that the northern sea area limit is drawn at 26N. In the race instructions it says 17N. I do not know which one counts for getting the two hour penalty for leaving the sea area, so be warned.
This is mostly interesting for those who left Madagascar on starbord, and avoided this ocean completely. I myself find myself still south of the equator and all I know is that I should be able to cross it some time in April.
The hyper glide anti fouling is not designed for race tracks this short of wind, and now my ship has grown twice as heavy as on the start. Man, this is a slow race. I'm a speed junkie and I can't keep my heading straight in these conditions. Maybe this is the necessary spiritual cleansing you need before entering India, by my clocks tick different. Put 10 of these in the RWC and you've got me.
