So I got this message from my brother today via LinkedIn:
Martin Caddick has sent you a message.
Date: 2/12/2009
Subject: Victorian Bushfire appeal
Many of you know of my other passion of (http://www.everrest.info) which I’m waiting patiently to go and visit for longer periods of time. I spoke to Sunsail yesterday about a idea I had where if anyone was to provide a receipt from either Red Cross or the Salvation Army proving their donation to the fire appeal, then I / we would give them double that as a discount on any charter. Result that I’m after is that anyone who thought they might like to charter would see this as an opportunity to make a sizeable donation to the appeal and also have a cheaper charter holiday. ie. make a $500 donation and get $1000 off your charter.
Confirmed:
"As an additional encouragement for people to donate more than they might otherwise, the owners of EverRest in conjuction with Sunsail are pleased to be able to give people up to $1,000 off the price of their charter departing between now and 12 Aug 09. When you provide evidence of your donation to either the Red Cross or Salvation Army appeals you will receive a reciprocal amount off your charter fee."
"The fine print. This can’t be combined with any other offers, it can’t be used retrospectively with any bookings, it’s only applicable for EverRest not any other Sunsail boats and there is a maximum discount of $1,000."
Thanks for your time.
So if you’re interested? head over to his website at http://www.everrest.info and register your interest?
BTW – the Cat is based in Hamilton Island, in Queensland right in the Great Barrier Reef

So it’s been quite some while since I last did a post of any kind as I was away from Aust. sailing and sampling the hospitality in the British Virgin Islands thanks to my brother (thanks Martin), and then on to New York City, and finally London and Guilford (thanks to Lou and David) before making it back home.
Incidentally just before leaving for this trip the Volvo Ocean Race set off – and if you’d like to navigate your own 70 footer around the world and compete then get on to http://www.volvooceanracegame.org/play.php and sign up?
I’m just getting in to Cochin with 51 miles to go. Look out for “WhyKnot”, and Martin my brother is “EverRest”
See you on Leg 3?
***UPDATE***
Shortly after announcing that they now had over 100,000 players it seems that they have found the breaking point? At the moment the link within www.volvooceanracegame.org the game site that hosts the Flash (?) module for the game comes from www.VirtualRegatta.com, and this is now being reported as Oops! this link appears broken
And from this what I also learnt as this appears to have taken down the same kind of game play for the Vendee Globe as well, AND Google Chrome is quite neat for having a “right-click” menu selection of “Inspect element”
So when called it does seem to have a heck of a lot of detail to my untrained eyes?
****UPDATE****
Now back on line……
1156 miles to go

VDM 2.0 is a new product. Over the last few months the team has been hard at work so we can deliver on the design goals we set for this release of the broker. At this stage we are really focused on simplicity and scalability.
