I guess the server isn't up to 60,000 "skippers" trying to check their course!!

Don't get it! Is there a start gate in that melee somewhere? I've just dropped 57k places and the 2nd place guy is slightly further back

Just gained 50k places. I guess it'll sort itself out as people spread out more

The poor computer is having a hell of a lot of load + everyone is very close. Its just going to take a few hours / day to sort out the rankings.
I'm trying to be brave and keep heading away from the direction we're supposed to be going.
Woohoo - we're racing again

^^^ looks like you're off to a flier - couldn't change my course late last night, and so have lost out to you and Wibbly - still managed
to gain 34,000 places (!) overnight though...
I think South Now is good - the people who are in the 'lead' right next to the coast are going to be way down the field soon.
