Flying out with Jacques and Tony on Thursday 3rd of Oct. Arrive Luderitz Sunday. Start sailing Monday if the wind cooperates!
Spotty comes over two weeks late. We are staying there for his first week to cheer him on and caddy his equipment.

You have always been exactly twice as fast as me.I just got a PB of 27.35 so that means you should do 54.7 no worries.I'm going back to Lake Illawarra this week and hopefully it won't be gusting over 40 knots this time and I will have a little more control and get to 28 knots.That will mean 56 knots for you and clearly faster than Antoine Albeau.
Go Spotty and good luck to the rest of the Aussies.

I'll be watching with great interest to see how our fine team of Aussies perform in Luderitz.

It is a great opportunity that you guys have, and I hope you can all exceed your own expectations, set some incredible records, and come home safely with stories to tell.

Go for it!
