Mission Accomplished : Mini Transat đ
On Monday, November 10th at 5:27âŻp.m. local time (9:27âŻp.m. UTC), Mini Skippy and I crossed the finish line in Saint-François, Guadeloupe.
After more than 16 days alone at sea, we completed this Atlantic crossing aboard a 6.50 meter boat, without assistance, without communication, relying on my training, skill and resilience.
The final miles delivered a thrilling showdown: a side-by-side sprint with another competitor to secure 20th place in the production boat ranking.
As the finish line appeared on the horizon, Mini Skippy was behind Antoine Canivetâs pink boat, having overtaken him during the night and then fallen back. I knew I had to make a move and switching into match racing mode, I used the gusts and waves glide slightly downwind, and with a little burst of speed came level before overtaking his pink boat just meters before the line. I knew that with the first leg cancelled, this was it. Not the moment to give up.
After more than two weeks, 2,600 miles sailed, and an entire ocean crossed, we clinched the finish in a photo finish, just 27 seconds ahead.

Quiz Update
Quiz Update
The quiz resumed on Wednesday night last (19th November) in conditions that were frosty and unwelcoming. Inside the club the conditions were just frosty - at least for former champions Celtic Boys who had an appeal to popular acclaim roundly dismissed when they argued that all plants are trees. The quiz hierarchy could not stretch the conventions of quizzing to give them the point they would need to fend off the inevitable march to victory of other former champions Wizard. The Quizmaster will not be on Christy McDonnellâs Christmas card list â nor will Michael or Sara.
With Wizard beating Celtic Boys by a point, it was left to much improved Quiztopher Columbus to take third spot on the night. Reigning champions Corner Boys finished fourth, and honourable mentions go to Celtic Warriors and the returning Stars of the Sea. Another honourable mention must go to Harmerang because they asked for one!
Erstwhile champions Wizard take a commanding lead in the overall leaderboard (available on the club Noticeboard), but with discards still widely available there are opportunities for all teams to improve their positions.
Finally, although Martin McCarthy must remain nameless, it should be noted that Motor Buoys - note the name of the team! â were not able to answer the question that called for the correct spelling of âbuoyâ.
The next quiz will take place on December 3rd, at 8pm sharp!
