Thank's for including me Devo gives everybody a chance here to fly across my pond     from Yolla as such. I come at 236 miles etc which includes 170 odd miles of open water with no where to hide, if the wish to get home which in some ways is the easy part one could say. For right from the start they head into an area 120 miles across from loft to loft & a 100 miles deep, once they hit land if they are lucky. After all that being said I hope no one is superstitious here, as I have 13 ducks in the battle  & my time comes in at 5 hrs 45 minutes.

It has to be north Devo south & they would finish up in the antarctic etc. East & its a 1000 miles to New Zealand west   first port of call could be Bristol territory, but my ducks would be in a spot of bother if they ever turned up there I suspect .
