??? nautical miles
Tim is away for a few days on S/Y SAGA3 taking her from Antalya back to Beirut. This post is live tracking their progress... and should automatically update.
20 May - 09:50 EEST: Course change... they had intended sailing round the north of Cyprus, but wind conditions near Syria means they decided to change and take the southern route. They claimed they were 'chickening out', but to take on 35 knot winds (Bft 5) right on the nose, needing tacking back and forth, when it's not necessary seems just like good seamanship.
20 May - 12:50 EEST: I see SAGA3 is just west of Paphos now. This morning I watched yesterday's Volvo Ocean Maimi in-port Race - it was absolutely gripping stuff. Pity Camper didn't do better, but a very exciting race.
