        The more who turn up to watch the spectacle the better, but I will have to ask Ian about whether he has the time to spend organising 2 of you.  He will be busy restocking the boat, doing media shit etc etc.  Let's hope he is way out in front in the race, then he has longer in port whilst the others catch up before the next leg…................

              This is something for Finn666 - seems like it would come natural to him…

                Too bad that Switzerland has no harbor where they can check-in at so I have to pass unfortunately 😛

                    If wellington is not booked I'll fly down to meet them. Sounds like a once in a life time thing. Or maybe hemi will be keen, it's his home town after all.  Either way I'll go down and get pics 🙂

                          Not booked.  So you are up there.  Still negotiating Port of Call in New Zealand - I will confirm….

                                            Derek Lundy's great book about the '95-96 Vendee Globe race, GODFORSAKEN SEA, has hair-raising scenes of  the single-person sailors of the 60-footers, sleepless days on end, climbing their 80-foot masts in Southern Ocean gales to fix halyards, repair lines, or hand-furl and the like. Amazing stuff.
