	Hi RC.... Plenty of "white" in May. Looks like a good opportunity to run some of the pending races already set up as listed in your spreadsheet. If the server can handle it, I would suggest running at least 2-3 of the shorter(3-5day)events. Perhaps Lindesfarne, NE Archipelago, Hebrides Slalom, etc. Would also suggest reopening the discussion of how long to keep races open if this is a limiting factor for running more races and cleaning up the list a bit. Should be a fun month!! SP

	Hi ShamPir - thanks for checking the calendar. As always I keep an eye on what is still pending... and trade off "busyness" with what else is running. The Lindisfarne will be run in June and I've just realised I haven't updated the thread running on that one. 76T has also suggested we look at the Shackleton Challenge for a gap-filler but I believe he is away at the moment. The NE Archipelago I thought you were keeping for rough weather... if not then it is definitely long overdue for running! The New Hebrides Slalom (not British Isles but Asia/Pacific) is another good one.. I had been waiting for SWR to get past Cape Horn so that we were out of the area. Thank you!

	Great ideas! I will renew my focus to watch the NE US coast for a good spring-time low to blow through and let you know. The others all sound fun as well. Always good to have some 75-200nm sprints waiting in the can to fill the gaps. Thanks and great job as always RC!! SP

Kamchatsky to Tromsoe 2024

Just before the light failed entirely in Antarctica, Skip Novak managed to get his Pelagic 77 out of the ice and north up the Pacific to Kamchatsky. The sun is shining (24/7) and not a penguin to be seen, and Skip believes the Norh East Passage is ice-free (sufficiently) to attempt it, so all aboard for a c 4250nm voyage from east to west across the top of Siberia, Russia and Norway to Tromsoe!
