Bugger it

[Whitelighter]

The big area of good wind is where I thought it would be when i thought it would be.

Only I didnt make it there in time.

Oh well, now its a damage limitation excercise...

I agree, I really buggered it in the SOL race.

I guessed a week ago that I should be well to the West, or possibly the East, but definitely not in the middle. Where am I? Bang smack in the middle. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

At least the VOR is looking more hopeful. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yeah, the wind was shifting around and I was trying a few different things to see what happened.

The result was they just about all made things worse and I spend 6-7 hours not really making much progress and now probably 200 miles behind the real leader.

Ho hum - still enjoying it though.

You're still in a good position - 85Nm NW of me - should get you into the wind sooner .... it's all them buggers over to the East that are hogging the places at the moment - and they've not got a lot to look forward too ..... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

You are next to me - boat and position wise!

I've just pointed the blinkin thing at the finish, and left it to it's own devices, There's no wind anywhere near me for days, so I figured it's as good an option as any
