	Due to commitments I will not do the Hobart Sydney race-is it possible for me to still watch the race-I am a SYC member if that makes any difference.

	You can watch the race through google-earth. Click on "Races" here above and then click "Google-Earth". --- Last Edited by Jakob Kuttenkeuler at 2008-12-31 07:33:22 --- ...one of the guys behind the game...

	Normally, the KML file type is associated with Google Earth upon installation. If Windows doesn't know how to handle these files, that association got lost. Assuming you have Google Earth already installed, download & save a KML file. Next, locate the downloaded KML file with Windows Exlorer, right-click the file and then click "Open With". Select the Google Earth program in the selection window and select the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" check box, and then click OK. Restart Internet Explorer so it sees this system change. The next time you encounter a KML file with IE, it will check the Windows system settings and will automatically offer to open it with Google Earth. HTH, HAND.

Sinbad Seeks Spices 2023
Having surveyed Arabia, Sinbad Al-SOL’er next invites you to race him on his second of seven epic voyages to every corner of the Indian Ocean and beyond, this time to seek spices in Zanzibar, departing from Xaafun, a trading post on the tip of the Horn of Africa since the days of the Mycenaeans and on through Roman times to the Nights of 1,001 of AL-Sail’or, Al-SOL’er’s illustrious ancestor. SOLing by the sun and the stars, aka seat-of-the-pants, the voyage will take you east as far as Praslin island, south as far as Anjouan, to Zanzibar’s Unguja for all things spices, but only back as far as Mogidishu – another exhausting 3000nm adventure, this time in Reichel/Pugh 66s.
