… Dongfeng knew exactly where the reef was prior to passing it, and had it on their screens while they did, zoomed in ? Or, did they just get lucky ? Because they sailed right by it.

Also, is there any type of communication between the boats, or from the boats to Mission Control and back to other boats … like for instance, there's some nasty weather here, or we just went right by this shoal which would be easy to slam into when it's dark … ??? Perhaps that's being too friendly in the Race, but when airplane pilots experience choppy air, they usually will advise others transiting the areas. Or, when we're cruising, I will from time to time get on the radio and announce one thing or another that I would like to know about, even if I think no one can hear me.
