Glancing at the Jester Challenge website in an idle moment, I note that:

• Ewen Southby-Tailyour has "retired from the one-man, non-committee that was not-coordinating the Jester Challenge", and Roger Taylor of this parish has taken The Helm. 
• The Jester Azores Challenge is due to start from Plymouth, Devon on 21st June and also from Baltimore, Ireland, on 21st June, after (I think) a feeder event from Plymouth to Baltimore.
• As yet, I see no JR boats amongst the entries - and surely there ought to be, with a JR sailor of high repute running it ... er, sorry, I mean not-running it?

We might see the Azores Challenge being replaced by a Svalbard Challenge!

Or something a bit easier,  such as around Rockall and back - the JRC? - but shush, he might be listening!
