[PUP] Earthrace

[L. Bruce Jones]

A pity about Earthrace having to abandon their goals. However, I am 
surprised they got as far as they did given their financial situation 
and what might be called lack of logistics planning. Plus, some plain 
bad luck.

I was in Palau last week and talked to some people who helped the 
Earthrace crew while they were there. The lack of spare parts was a 
real issue for them. And, they arrived looking for biodiesel and when 
they couldn't find any, filled up with the common stuff. Expedience.

Of course, a two meter crack in the hull while at sea will ruin anyone's day.
