Well, as I leave the boat to sail itself through the night - hopefully my calcs for the head up and tack are right ... but there is a pretty interesting windshift that'll make it more fun in the morning .... winds are light and progress will be much slower /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
I'm in 57th place - I was in 51st, but I submitted a command with a delay, without ticking the delay box - so changed course and ducked a few places!! Doh!
Morgana is back in 99th - he's been picking off quite a few these last few hours - having tacked up the coast at the start and coming in to the mark from the north - he's either got along night ahead or he's programed his boat too ...
Perhaps it's not a good idea to mention H4marine ... who seems to be approaching waypoint 4 .... YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GO CLOCKWISE AROUND THE ISLAND .... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif me thinks the programing went wrong there ... (my turn in the morning!!)
There is a lot to be said for a watch system .... I'll have to find someone in Oz to take over from me now then .... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
