Comanche leaving the Heads
Portfolio
It was a fast water start for the 2024 Sydney to Hobart Ocean Yacht Race with some 20 knots of wind to fire the boats into tacking duels in Sydney Harbour on Boxing Day! Super-maxi Comanche took the lead over Law Connect who made a crucial mistake due to a furling failure. Comanche maintained the lead into ocean waters reaching 51 km/hr boat speed until retiring due to mainsail failure just short of Bass Strait. Line Honours were won by rival Law Connect. Some 27 boats were forced to retire or dismasted due to battering seas in which two sailors died in natures most challenging waters.

Travel Tip - Lost Bags
The aviation industry is entering a new era of baggage loss as the numbers of bags handled increases following Covid years. Passengers can decrease the loss risk by checking in baggage only for a single flight!
Travel Tip - Airport Terminals
Despite airports working on new processes the terminal is a most unfriendly place. The best way to avoid the discomfort of crowds and the stress of missing the boarding call is to be early for your flight!
Travel Tip - Cancelled Flights
The cancelled flight is the ultimate abuse for the passenger even though the airline may not be at fault! Whilst not that easy, read the fine print about refunds and transfers and chose an airline that is fair!
