I know the feeling still an hour before i turn.
there do seem to be rather a large number of boats heading back towards the buoy. i wonder if there is a problem ( like the flying wildbird ), i think ill give the buoy a plenty of space.

the returns are probably because people set an time delayed turn but didn't notice that a slight wind shift would slow their progress, end result being their autohelm turned them before the buoy.
I'm left with the feeling that the turn at the buoy might be the most exciting thing that happens on this leg - anyone for a game of Monopoly?

Ah, easy come easy go... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
missed it by inches. It was just a drag race anyway, besides being in front gives me no one to follow and blame their tactics /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Yep, a drag race in boats with identical polars.

I woke up in time to rescue SWMBO's delayed CC ... she said I'd set it too tight to the mark - and she was right!
