Shhh, I\'m busy driving

lol, it's gone very quiet in here, are we all concentrating dutifully?!

So New Zealand, port or starboard?

Re: Shhh, I\'m busy driving

Busy? i seem to spend quite a bit of time drifting around and getting frustrated by the every-changing forecasts, and changing my plans yet again. Finally looks like, in a few hours time, I'll be in some more consistent winds. But the 5.45pm forecast will probably scupper that too.

Problem is the shifting winds have meant I'm heading directly for the middle of of the north of NZ.... prob. to starboard, but depends on the wind at the next forecast.

NZ to port for me
Through the middle anyone?

Re: Shhh, I\'m busy driving

I have a cunning plan!!
I am leaving NZ to port and also Antartica. So I get to Rio without crossing the International Date Line and I arrive before I left.
Bugger! I think I've spotted a flaw. Pass me the bottle while I work it out again. Have you seen the size of Antartica! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Re: Shhh, I\'m busy driving

I'm lining up with NZ well to starboard.

For the first time since my 600 place move on the first leg, I'm actually happy with my position on the race course!

Re: Shhh, I\'m busy driving

I was certain, certain, that my little chink through New Zealand would get me ahead of the pack. Oh how wrong I was... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I've just made my first course change in a week or so. I forgot about it! Doh!

Re: Shhh, I\'m busy driving

nice view of the North Isand to starboard, a few days ago I thought it would never happen.

Re: Shhh, I\'m busy driving

I think you're in a nice position dyflin.. I was just looking.. once you've got through the lighter wind belt, you've got good wind angles and better wind, less close to the dastardly high

Re: Shhh, I\'m busy driving

Looking good, dyflin! You're steaming up the outside, as I thought you would.

Re: Shhh, I\'m busy driving

Steaming a bit too quick now, have to put the brakes on a bit to keep inside the higher winds. Looooong way to go yet though /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Re: Shhh, I\'m busy driving

I'm waving to you - distantly disappearing on my starboard bow....slow down a bit more!
