Leg2 is go.

[Martin_J]

Just as confused now... SOL on the laptop says I'm doing +12knots.. I look outside and the 'in real life' boat is not moving!

Quick Martin - I know you're in London ... but you've hit an Island ... tack now!














not really

 

[pendlecats]

agreed the weather is , umm, inconsistent.


It makes an interesting result for all the members of the rearguard, keeping almost perfect station N to S !

That looks remarkably similar to my guy's track, as I set off for the company Xmas party early Friday am. just got back, not proving very fruitful at the Mo though,,,

 

[Martin_J]

Wake me up when I get back to Portsmouth.. On the train at the moment (falling asleep) and just managed to log in to check.. Looks like double and triple checking the DC this morning was worthwhile..
There still appear to be a few huges areas of no wind ahead... Very little wind sometimes.. It looks to be an interesting Thursday for the first of these..

"£$"$%$$%" some bar steward put Madagascar in the way last night

Typically ... after all these days of minor tweaks we're coming up to the interesting part ... and I'm not going to be online to make the changes!!

 

[sarabande]

don't go anywhere near me ! I have offended the wind gods again, and am now faced with a tight beat to Pirate 3.

 

[Dipper]

I'm just making sure there are no stragglers.

 

[Pye_End]

Looks like pc has realised that he failed to round the last mark, and is currently steaming back to round it.

 

[Martin_J]

One boat earlier in the week went back six hours to round a mark.. then realised he had actually rounded it the previous day..

Fireball.. you're not the only one away from PC for a while now.. New Years Eve tomorrow so I'm off out early Saturday morning.. could be back anytime on 1st or 2nd.... DCs will be set to take me round the corner.. I hope!

Happy New Year to all.. Rgds ybw_mjm

 

[pendlecats]

Drat,,,,
8hrs to get back to the mark

 

[Alistairr]

Think most have done it in this race, Indiana missed a mark by about 8hrs, and had to turn back to it.

Still, at least you are on a nice reach now!

 

[Martin_J]

Well done Alistairr..... New Year's Eve didn't help with tacking around Musandam but it was a great Celebration on Embankment whilst leaving SOL on DCs..

Fair winds to all... ybw_mjm

 

[fireball]

yup well done ...

and to Martin .. few days ago I thought I might have you there - especially with you away over NY ... but so was I and I cocked up a few DCs ... then ran aground ... and I don't know what happened again last night - but lost a few places that I'd previously pulled back .. looks like 81st for me ...

 

[Dipper]

Well done Alistair, Martin and Fireball. Don't wait for me. I'll be a while.

 

[pendlecats]

Eye,, well done.

Having an intresting time in 643rd pos. with Sara and Whitelighter ATM

 

[Spyro]

2 out of 2 Al, Nice one

 

[Alistairr]

Thanks all. I could sleep for a week now.

Not sure I can make it a hat trick but I'll try.

Cheers
Al.

That's good cos you've got until 14th Jan before the next leg. Let's hope it's easier getting out of the gulf than it was getting in.
