I see that the Round the World guys have made it to Natal in Brazil. Apparently they lobbed into Jamacia in the middle of a "State of Emergency" due to some political unrest in that country.
In terms of degrees of Longitude crossed Natal is close to half way round from Bendigo. In terms of distance for their chosen route the next stop in Accra in Gahana is halfway. The next leg is 2200 odd nms - A long way and a long time to sit in a lighty.
