Only just managed to log on - not doing too badly, and its a LONG way to go.... should be a good one though.

Its a huge distance but with some down wind sailing this time it should be alot more fun.

Well i'm enjoying it - for the first time ever i'm .... first! (well first in our group and i doubt it will last).
Interesting looking at some of the strategies. Nearly everyone seems to be heading SE at the moment. If the winds don't change we've got a
heck of a hack East in a few days / weeks time.

It certainly is an interesting leg.
I'm just hoping the wind doesn't change otherwise I will lose what I think is my advantage staying high whilst I could but all good fun
whatever happens.

Staying high certainly gave you an advantage. I did think of trying it .... but bottled it (why do i always bottled good ideas?)
Now a bit stumped what to do to catch up.

It certainly helped just wish I had gone even longer but to bottled it
Its still a long way to the end and with the uncertain wind at the moment any thing can happen.

My best position - 8932 ish, currently 40000 ish
Testing my patience somewhat.
Still it's only a game, and it's the taking part that counts

That's it! I've given up now. I'm off to Germany for a week tomorrow and, as it has now become more of a chore to fit in than fun
now, this is probably the excuse I needed to drop it. Good luck to the rest of you though!

Leaders have now finished, reckon I've got another 4 days if wind doesn't pick up.
And they've broken a sail. Yes, they broke it. Consiring to get money from me I suspect
Hoping to catch YQUSTA in the nect couple of days

Bloody wind has been getting me good and proper.
Now it's picking back up so I am on the move again time to make up some places again.

Welcome to the race.
No they are not.
They haven't started the leg by the looks of it so they will be placed in the last 20%.
