Random Sailor to Circumnavigate by Chance

Ok, this is a weird one. Rob Clark (above) wants to sail single handed around the world. Yawn you go, join the queue.

But he wants his route to be decided by a combination of chance, at the throw of a dice, and by the collective will of the sailing internet by voting on his web site.

To be honest to me it makes Big Brother seem sane, but maybe I've missed something.

JP Down Under

Yes, at short notice JP has found himself in the land of vegimite, exchanging the warmth of London summer for the sharp cold of an Australian winter.

Not sure that there's going to be much chance of sailing amongst all the business commitments - and given that where I'm staying (Canberra) isn't on the coast.

Especially when jet lag wakes you at 3 am.

Oh well, needed to prepare a presentation anyhow......
