There is a race that started this morning in Antigua with 15 - 19' boats racing around the globe. It's the Mini Globe Race 2025 and there is only 1 American in it. His name is Josh Kali and while in Oriental, he gave me a tour of his boat days before setting off for Antigua.

Very cool. I'm not much a racer, but those Globe 5.80's seem like great boats!
My other car is a sailboat.
