	Hi RC My suggestion for the NE & NW passage hasn't made it to the proposed race list. Do you need more detail on these races or is there some selection process for proposed races?

	Hi Scotsman - Did you complete both kmz files? I only recall seeing some numerical waypoints that AGage put together in a kmz file. Waypoints need to have names... they don't have to be placenames, but something appropriate to your race. The race needs a name and, as you will see from the guidelines on proposing races (in teh Race Proposals Forum) you need to draft an invitation as well as a race description. We need to know how long the race will be and what boat you wish to use and, ideally, a sense of how long it will take to complete. Finally... have you checked that the route you have chosen is actually doable in SOL? Sorry to have dropped the ball on this - as you can see from the Unraced races list, there are a bunch of long distance races that have been pending for a long time. Recent improvements in how the server is being managed means we can push former usage limits a little --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-06-02 23:11:52 ---

	The same thing happened last year when the Race to Mackinac was in the Preliminary Calendar but then was dropped at some point as the Monthly Edition was published. So here we are again I will not assume that it will show up without this extra comment. None so blind

	Hi A2R - I am actually trying to get an official buddy-up for the race but, until I get a yes or a no, I don't want to put anything in the calendar But... you weren't to know that so, thank you for the reminder!!

	This race has run within SOL every year in sync with the actual event, even before I got here, except last year when this partnering obstacle seems to have obfuscated the scheduling issue. Are we not allowed to mirror this race, even with a different name, unless we receive permission from the sponsoring Yacht Clubs ? Partnering should be a bonus not a sine qua na. --- Last Edited by A2R at 2012-06-10 20:00:29 --- None so blind

	A2R - if the real race doesn't want us running it with the official name then we will run the course but call it something other /similar. I see that the Race to Mackinac now has some heavy duty sponsors and once the "branding" option has been taken up, I think SOL just needs to be careful. We WILL be running the course but because of the approach for a buddy-up I don't wish to tread on toes at this point! I love this race so there is no way we are not doing it this year!! Dats a promise

	RC, thanks for the expanded explanation and reassurances. Lawyers have sharp elbows which is why it is best to let sleeping dogs lie. None so blind

	A2R - still no feedback from the real race organisers so it is now in our calendar as the Chicago-Mackinac 2012.

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!
