Some of us are playing over on the VORG. Chris Robb has just peaked at 3rd (out of 180,000) off Northern Luzon, Nautorius and I are well up in the sub 10,000s.

I cannot believe this. My 9 year old son has been desparate to have a go at the Volvo races. In the end I have let him register and he is racing in this leg. After a not such a good start he was a suddenly overtook me during the second night (from about 300 places behind), and has been running at second for most of the afternoon (now third).

I have stopped giving him help, and feel that maybe, since I am 185 places behind him, that he should be coaching me. The 'down the middle' route to me looked the least favourable at the start, but as the days pass I am becoming increasingly concerned that he will beat me!
