<BLOCKQUOTE style="BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px"><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>Dear
Family and Friends,<BR><BR>I thought you might be interested in following
GREYHAWK in the Bermuda One-Two Yacht Race coming up soon, so I have taken the
liberty of subscribing you to a mailing list that I have created for keeping
you all informed of my progress, "greyhawkupdates@thorpeallen.net." I
hope to send out an e-mail update daily from the boat by satellite phone, and
using the mailing list means I only need to send the e-mail to just one
address rather than 50! <BR><BR><BR>If you do NOT want to get these e-mails,
you can unsubscribe from the list at this link: <BR><BR>
http://gator1289.hostgator.com/mailman/listinfo/greyhawkupdates_thorpeallen.net
<BR><BR>If there are others who you think might like to get these e-mails,
please have them visit the link above to subscribe to the list.<BR><BR><BR>All
of the boats in the race will be equipped with satellite tracking devices, so
you can follow the race at:
http://www.iboattrack.com/racetracking.html<BR><BR>Updates and results will be
posted throughout the event at: http://www.bermuda1-2.org/<BR><BR>You
might also find news and updates on the "Front Page" at Sailing Anarchy --
http://www.sailinganarchy.com/ -- and/or in the 2011 Bermuda 1-2 thread on the
SA Ocean Racing Forum at:
http://forums.sailinganarchy.com/index.php?showtopic=121588&st=29<BR><BR>My
employer, Keene State College, might also be posting updates at:
http://sites.keene.edu/newsline/<BR><BR>You can read about my preparations
leading up to the race on my "blog" at:
http://sailing.thorpeallen.net/Greyhawk/ <BR><BR>I will be using a special
e-mail address to communicate from the boat. Do not reply to it unless you
must, as my satellite connection is both very slow and very expensive. Please
consider sending me an SMS text message instead (those are free) -- see below.
If you must reply to my e-mail, don't quote me in your reply, keep your
message brief, and definitely do not attach any files or embed any images
(watch out for signatures!)<BR><BR>If you want to contact me during the race
or send words of encouragement, you can send SMS text messages of 160
characters or less by e-mail to 881622483078@msg.iridium.com These are free!
(Please note that I cannot accept "outside assistance" in the form of special
information that might help me in the race, such as private weather
forecasts.)<BR><BR>Do not call the satellite phone -- first, it is very
expensive, for you (especially) and for me; second, I generally will not have
the phone turned on, so you'll just get voice mail anyway. Instead just send a
SMS text message by e-mail as above (those are free).<BR><BR>General e-mails
can be sent to greyhawk@thorpeallen.net (aka tim@sailing.thorpeallen.net --
they are the same) -- I will using that address before the race, while in
Bermuda, and after we finish back in Newport.<BR><BR>PLEASE NOTE: if you do
not get a daily e-mail from me, DO NOT PANIC! There may be lots of
reasons why I was not able to get an e-mail off -- too busy sailing the boat,
bad sat phone connection, computer problems, etc... Also, there are lots
of reasons why the iboat tracker might not update. <BR><BR>Best
