5/3 - The Great Albatross Race: Are we pro or con?

Not exactly certain how to feel about this one. Good that they're donating the proceeds to charity, but a little sadistic that everyone's hoping all the other birds fall victim to longline fishing hazards.

This is what satellite tracking was developed for -- another thing to bet on.

well that's pretty cynical. I mean do you bet on a race horse hoping all the others will get their leg broken? It's who makes it first, that's all. Obviously we want all the birds to make it.
