because a 6m white pointer was spotted offshore!

I'd love to check out your assertion, but a 2hr flight versus a 15hr flight 
(ignoring cost of course) is a bit much. 

Still, visiting "down under" is on my bucket list. Now back to work for me...

I was in SF after Boston Share, and saw some of the final challenger series for 
that Cup.
Boring.

18 footers might be exciting for multi-hulls, but not these big fellas. Just

Dunno about Bermuda, might have to take Bobs word for it ...
