ONE THAT SLIPPED PAST

Sorry to do two sailing entries in a row, but ...

In the quixotic quest for quests to conquer (is it still alliterative if the last "q" is mid-word?) here's one called the Antarctica Cup, a sailboat race around, well, obviously, Antarctica.

In the world of racing sailboats over extreme distances against the clock, rather than competitors, this has to be one of the most unusual. I'll bet it the only race where the words "It is difficult to breath on deck when standing against the wind," was ever transmitted by the competitor.

Go HERE for the latest.

Thanks to the Scuttlebutt daily report for the heads up.
