Tillerman has a new challenge out.
I don't know if I'll be participating myself - but he reminded me of an article I had read in the Times, thought "Too cool, gotta post" and then never did. But I will now, because it just doesn't get much more futuristic than this!
And if all's still on schedule, the future begins in around 7 months!

Thanks for the shout-out. I'm sure I read science fiction stories about this when I was a boy, and now it's becoming a reality.
I can't remember why I didn't link to that Times article when it first came out in November - probably just too swamped at work at that point or something - but I found the idea rather enchanting & yes, wonderfully science-fiction seeming. I'm glad you reminded me of it, it had slipped my mind very quickly once I failed to post it initially!
I'll see if I can find an evening to do something in your "future of sailing" - I guess my big dream for the future of my personal sailing would be "To achieve a level of sailing skill where I can think about going out on my own, at least on a nice day, with confidence!"
And then I'd like to throw in "And the next AC is in Newport so we can all go camp out in Tillerman's backyard & watch the crazy bajillionaires have it out, mwahahahaaa!".
Except Tillerman's front yard is the one that has a view of the water ... But yeah, we can all have a party ...
(verification word: draggie -- when you have a line or sail in the water during a race to slow you down?)
Well remembered Bonnie!
Have just blogged something about solar sailing that might interest you.
