	We already have an ocean race pre-Christmas so we need a date in Jan/Feb (or end Dec).. there's got to be one! I think long ocean races are good in Dec/Jan - folks are on Christma/New Year / ski/other vacations so a long race keeps folks in touch --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-10-25 18:23:47 ---

	Would this be longer than any previous races here? I'd be up for the slog!

	Here is the first leg of the mutineers, which was from Tonga to French Polynesia. I've suggested using Steinlager II as a modern boat a similar length to the HMS Bounty. Attachments MotB_Fletcher_Leg_1.kmz (1.7 KB)

	Given the recent loss of the vessel and some crew, would suggest making this a memorial race, something like the A3. Perhaps, after the appropriate interval, even contact the Tall Ship Bounty organization(www.tallshipbounty.org) and ask if a memorial race would be of interest to bring together the organization as a way of remembering the vessel and crew? Would cite our ongoing relationship with other Tall Ship organizations. Their website has been suspended at the moment but there may be others ways of contacting them in the future. Suggest getting a polar for the Bounty herself instead of a modern platform. Just a thought. SP

	Good idea SP. Might be worth adding more legs to include the passage from the UK out to the Pacific.

	I feel such action would be ill advised, seeing as they have taken down their website and we have no connection to any of the individuals involved. Just saying keep the original historical perspective. --- Last Edited by A2R at 2012-10-31 06:15:51 --- None so blind

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!
