    Re: Carib Rum Run 2025

    brad ellis here - aka braddlepate for the Rum Run!

    addlepate is "an archaic term for a foolish, dull-witted, or confused person"

    Over the years some of my pals have called me braddle as the first syllables of my names are "Brad" and "El". Maybe they're on to something! haha

    Ahoy there, braddlepate! Yer name be as fine a blend o’ rum and wit as any we’ve seen on the high seas! Whether fool, rogue, or genius in disguise, ye’ll be sailin’ the Rum Run with style. May yer casks never run dry and yer compass never spin, ye merry seadog!

    "Bilge Brain Brellie" for my pirate ship, please!

    Arrrgh, "Bilge Brain Brellie" be a name that tells tales of a pirate with a peculiar mind, one who navigates the treacherous waters of the bilge with wit and cunning. A fine choice, me heartie!

    Downtime between races - it's a good thing, right?
    Board » General Discussion
    Finished the Christmas Island Race already (did really well by brellis boat standards) and some empty SOL days before the next race begins.

    A few years ago I determined to start and finish ~every~ race, so for a while now it seems like I've ~always~ had a boat in the water on some race or another, every day of the year, until the past couple of days. Guess that's a mark of improvement!

    Re: In Memoriam - Finn Møller Christensen

    Several years ago, I was catching up to the pack in some race. I came across Bimmer's boat, bbq'd. He started moving again and I noticed him saying in the chat "how about a match race to the next marker?" or something like that. He had spotted me a lead, beat me to the marker pretty easily anyway - but he did so with very cheerful, joyous and helpful hints in his chat comments. In more recent years, I've participated in many Practice Races with him, always a happy experience. Don't even feel like I miss him yet - his presence is emanating all over the Memorial Race, as if he's still here with us! RIP Finn aka Bimmer

Current Races:

Port Huron to Mackinac 2025


First run in 1925, the race from Huron to Mackinac is considered to be the world's longest consecutively run freshwater sailing race. Let's go - 260nm in X-362 Sport's awaits!!
Throw away unnecessary ballast from your boats. Fresh water has less buoyancy, which means greater draft and greater resistance to movement, which means lower speeds, etc.😊

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!

Camel or Balloon 2025 - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
