Interesting what you say about the wind only changing then. I had assumed that as T0 shows a NNE and T12 shows ENE that it would change sometime
during the night/early tomorrow. I might gybe it now and hope for the best!
I had a quick look on the game forums and 20 and 22kts have been mentioned as limits for the light kite, obviously isnt that light...
Editted to say: Wahey I seem to have made up 5600 places this evening, now lying about 23000!

Speaking to a sailing bloke here, 35km is about the limit of a light thingy. He's wrecked one at 20km

Firstly, I only really wanted the sail repair kits but they were doing a package. It's crap, don't bother (or maybe it's me that
can't work it). You have to be psychic to use the autohelm as you need to work out where you will be in a few hours and guess what the wind will
be doing at that time. The autowindy thing seems to be very effective at slowing you down if you are going too fast. I have used both twice and with
no success! I can assure you that I won't be using any of it again!!
Secondly, I know I had a couple of friend requests but when I went to acknowledge them they had disappeared. If it shows that I rejected/declined etc
I apaologise - It was not intentional!
Oh well - Off to check again now!

with the wind all you have to do is think about 11am and 11pm in between it stays the same so very easy to work out just dont think of the 12 hr when
you set your heading.

the light winds.....

Wahey, 563 places gained in 1 night I just hope that weather forecast is right because I'm heading for a very narrow strip of wind in about
30 hours time!
