That looks unlikely in this race. Even if they finish in Hawaii(a good bet), they will be east of the International Date Line. The schedules I quoted to Melbourne show +2 to indicate that you are 2 days beyond the day of the late evening departure from Santiago of the LAN flight. One of those days is the lost day crossing the date line.

Are you sure? It seems to me that when you cross the IDL you are then in the next day. When it is 11PM Monday in the East of the USA, it is 1PM Tuesday in Japan. When I was on a ship going to Australia many moons ago, we skipped a Monday , but when we were returning we had two Sundays back to back with a special Sunday dinner each day (that's the Navy for you). When you travel east to west you add a day, but traveling west to east you subtract a day.

Something doesn't jive :duno: When it is April 30 in Santiago Chile it is already May 1 in Melbourne, Australia. So is our sighting in both cities correct or is the sighting in Melbourne on April 30 speculation?
Or were the flags put up early or for a test before the racers arrived on May 1. Was that the actual date of the sighting in Santiago, or when the blogger posted.

He wrote that his ticket back to the states was for April 30th Gman.
eta...and I am afraid that I will have little time to write all these stories out. I have a ticket back to the States on April 30th. I will be flying out of Santiago, Chile.

Just got off the phone with a friend of mine. Apparently - though I can't prove one way or the other because they don't have a camera and I'm stuck at uni - there's a flag on top of an office building on Elizabeth Street right now. The only likely task, if any, would be one of those 'look out the window and find a flag' deals. I'm thinking there's also a cluebox set up right now on the Rialto Towers Observation Deck, which would make sense because there's a new tower with a higher observation deck, and this gets fewer spoilerhunters like myself.
Firstly, crappy task, even if it's one I just speculated about, and secondly, evil making them visit Melbourne in the middle of a cold snap - currently it's around 1:20pm local time

He doen't actually say when he was at the airport, perhaps he was there the day before getting his new ticket. Then this would make sense since if the teams left on April 29, they could be seen in Melbourne on April 30
puddin:
Why did they have to do a task in Melbourne? even raceguy isn't so sure.

I don't know about the building, his phone cut out at precisely the wrong moment. I've been trying to get a hold of him since I posted for more, but... yeah.
But he did tell me it was a 'gold and red flag like that show you obsess about'.
ETA: He's the sort of person who would play a trick on me like this, so there's about a 50% chance he's sitting at home laughing his frozen arse off at me right now.
