	Started the race 0544UTC a bit late. I knew the race would start Wednesday but not taking into acount the time differance from Europe. But I enjoy the racing so what can be done. A rerun on another day?. Last night was my first good nights sleep in along time. Not waking up at 0000UTC or 0200UTC to check on how far back from the front i am. I appreciate the work that goes into SOL and enjoy the racing. Thanks SOL.

	As far as i know, a race can only be set up with a fixed starting time, which can't be changed later on. That's the reason, why SOL won't have been able to reflect the postponement of the real race, even if a SOL-God would have been online. And this might even be the reason, why this race popped up a bit surperisingly, only a few hours in advance, if the Starttime of the real race wasn't set more than these few hours in advance... and possibly a few hours of time shift between NZL and Europe. Nevertheless, a Notice on the Blog that Leg 3 is to Start on March 2nd, but hte exact time isn't set yet, would have been nice, to alert folks to watch out.

	Please will you take this discussion to the Sailonline Yacht Club Forum where there is a poll running, on what to be done in relation to the RNI series, and an opportunity for folks to air their views. It would be preferable to keep this thread for news about the race, rather than SOL-specific issues. The SOL homepage blog reflects the information we were given in relation to the start of Leg 3, the vote in the SYC Forum allows you to decide on how to rectify (or leave alone) what has happened in relation to the RNI series and what (perhaps) should be done in the future with other races where SOL and a local race organiser buddy-up.

Halifax to Hooper Bay 2024

And now it’s Autumn in the Arctic, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. Having receded all summer, ice is starting to return to the numerous straits and bays of Canada’s North West Passage. High time then to set off on our last leg of the High Latitudes Series from Halifax in Nova Scotia to Alaska’s Hooper Bay. It’s 3850nm and we need to hurry, so we’ll take the Pelagic 77!
