Some more pic following :-)


Old Gray Reef Light at sunrise when I rounded it going East .

You will notice on the photo, there are no more windows in the lighthouse tower ?

Here is why ...

After being de-commissionned and abandoned for years, a humongous storm over Northern Lake Michigan blowed all the Windows off with waves crashing over it, but ...it was already covered by ice from a previous storm :-( sad ending for such a solid construction .

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!

It’s 2400nm, and there’s more than a few other islands in the way, so mind where you go in your Ocean 50s. Race #1981
