Just wondering ... Is there an optimal place to leave from for your record setting course? Considering speed, distance, safety, etc. Mr Chan left from Qingdao. The French leave from France. Joe Harris left from the East Coast. Is it somewhere up the West Coast? How about leaving from the South hemisphere and going North now that there is a passage (I'm probably showing my ignorance here).
