I reckon I had your wave going the other way--went back from 60 to 829 in a few hours!! Perhaps it will be back again going my way. There are some real quirks in the positions though, boats not that far apart have positions 400 - 500 places different.
Loads of time for it to even out I guess ( jolini)
(brain's rankings are based, I believe, on a different measuring algorithm and do go round the cape. They are very similar to google earth measures, via cape horn. The SOL rankings are bizarre- the tool shows me (at 200+ in SOL) just under 100 miles nearer the cape than mac who is lying 4th
However they measure it you are doing a lot better than me. The last 3 days have been the longest ever on SOL for me. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now though. All I need to do is stay off the green stuff during the night.
My exalted position won't last -already dropping places in brain's rankings (but gaining them in SOl???).. lots of doldrums ahead.
I have to admit I'm losing the will to live.. (at least in the SOL virtual world). I try plugging in the positions and route options in into the free sailplanner software and I get different routing each time..- so I've sort of given up and am pointing WB down the great circle line, unless there's something very obvious.
Getting WB ready for "the big trip" is higher priority- de-moulding (as in removing green mould, not taking them off!) the teak decks today whilst the weather is fine.
Most pleased with my DC that I set last night but the light I saw at the end of the tunnel has faded fast the weather for my position for the next few days is crap. A few days ago it looked like my westerly position would be better now I just don't know. Thankfully I don't have routing software to confuse matters. Lets hope for a big change in the forecast.
