Picked up "Race Against Time" over xmas...it's Ellen's day to day account of her record breaking '05 run. Highly recommend this to anyone that wants to get any sense of what it's like doing an around-alone record attempt.

She too reported 'bergs well North of where they had been sighted by other ships...and she also comments that none were showing up on her radar.

Well, my point wasn't about the accuracy of the times (since I only know what I'm reading here), just that the poor bastard running second isn't getting accolades for running ahead of Ellen (assuming that he still is)...

Just to show my complete ignorance, are these guys running through the icebergs while trying to sleep?

They're trying to stay north of the ice / growler field but Joyon had some pretty wild pictures of some big bergs and reports that it's further north than he has ever seen it. Radar picks up the ones that are floating well above the surface....
