I seem to be dragging my own lack of wind round with me at the moment. If we are still sailing tomorrow at about 2.30 after I've had my sprouts be prepared to see something very special!!

Well done Mike - I always seem to lose places overnight - guess its because I like my sleep!

Cheers Chris,

I was convinced you where going to get that place off me. I even logged on last night before i went to bed and had a stress over the best direction.

Just glad when i logged on this morning you hadn't overtaken me (yes i was getting competitive at the end).

I dont understand this thing about start of a leg, it auto's you until you log on, then does it drop you about 100k places? because i was 8000 and something and within about 30secs i went down to 100k. And im going in the same direction and faster than alot of people so weird....
O well, time to catch up

I was just thinking the same. logged on and i was 10,000 and second place in our group, changed direction so heading more towards the theoretical fastest line (and therefore should move up places) and increased speed by 1 knot and ......... lost thousands and thousands of places.

arrggh... i'm thinking of trying to not lose my life to this game again.

I think the next 24h is going to be interesting and a lead change is likly.

The guys to the west of the island will have a slow climb the guys to the east a quicker route.

I hope my choice of going east will work.

The last bit of that was a bugger. I ran aground on an island the size of a small pebble and then everytime I logged on after that I'd been headed

I ran around early one - lost best part of 100,000 places.

Had a gentle sail after that, ran aground a second time so am now going east of the island .... means i don't have to log in as much. Oh well..... stuffed this round.

I was doing OK at about 5000th, then had to g o to Paris for a 2 day meeting - with no chance to log on - SWMBO did some steering, but still lost 45,000 places!

Finished about 30000th, so did OK in the end.... next leg is loooooooong !!
