Hi Don, I don’t understand why Abalish and Kirsten are so far north of the rumbline to Cape Horn…i know the weather south is rough but they are going to get blasted by the system approaching them anyway.. i would have thought it beat for them to get the hell around the corner soonest… I have an Oceanic 46 (Savage46) that i sail singlehanded…
This interference in allowing the competitors to actually sail as if it's 1968 is tiring and as Abilish seemed to mention in Horbart, so much information but ( You ) don't allow the captain to communicate with their families???!!!
I was sailing the world before cell phones and satellite weather… luckily I found a vessel to crew on occasionally that had good HAM RADIO to link up a landline phone call although not private, it did the job.
I understand that personal losses may make for extra cautious directing of the event but don't completely ruin the Golden Globe PURPOSE for what is appearing more like a commercial venture to sell products….
Whew changeable
Morning all
Great update, thanks.
Looks like no matter what path you follow there will be stormy weather around the Cape , it's a real test of these sailors skills !

Thank you for another ggr update, Don and I’m enjoying every single one. Just wish it was always good news. 15:41
I am glad Guy is heading to Hobart I was concerned with no life raft if he didn’t. That’s good news. I will watch out for him.
Thanks for update Don.
Wish them the best and safest sail. It looks like they are really going to earn this one
Quite the blow coming up! Good thing GGR headquarters is there for them!
