Gold Coast Oz in lead again!

Positions at 09:30, 14 Nov '11

After their fourth straight bullet in the race to Western Australia, Gold Coast Australia, with "our Babs" on board, is again in the lead of the pack.  See screen shot at left, taken this morning 09:30 Hong Kong time (GMT +8), where they are just south of Tasmania, off South West Cape, which I went round in 1983 on way from Hobart to Adelaide on a 42' steel sloop, Adria Australis and had some pretty wild weather.
They have to go through that gate (the white dots), then south of New Zealand, up the east coast to Tauranga for their next finish.
See the Race Viewer here.  There's a neat function at top: "Replay" which gives speeded up picture of how they got here.  Pretty cool.
There are some comments from various folks here.  "Friends of Babs": keep adding your comments, here.  Babs picks them up when she arrives in port, as it does seem you can't put individual messages on the race site....
Meantime, not sure where our Xena is.... should be near, just about in, Singapore...
