ahhhhhh
I should be at or very near the finish now and the bloody server is still down.
I do hope that my heading was spot on or I could be running aground soon

With my slight tactical error, I don't think it will make much difference to me with the server being down!

This is a quote form one of the threads in the forum;
PlayerOne wrote on Sun 09 Nov 2008 20:55:53:
"All boats have stopped so you won't end up in the middle of nowhere when the servers are back up."
So we'll just have to wait and see. To follow the thread
"CLICK ME"
hopefully it'll be back on soon!!

yeah! It's suddenly got very lonely out there. It's not just friends that have disappeared - everyone's gone! I guess the Bermuda
Triangle must have relocated

for your info
just read this on the news section so thought id just pass it to you guys for your information
chris
Some of you have already finished, but for everyone who is still sailing LEG 1 will end on Thursday 13 Nov 2008 22:00:00. You can use this time to get
to get as high in the ranking as possible because your ranking still counts for your overall ranking!
Everyone has between Thursday 22:00 and Saturday 12:00 15 hours to see Cape Town and rest a bit, for LEG 2 will start at the same time as the real
race (Saturday 12:00).
Good luck to everyone!

woohoo - i planned my course well and finished today. Never thought i'd get second. Really chuffed. Now time for some R&R with those girls i
picked up on the route.
See you all Saturday (GMT or ????) i'm guessing it will be 11am UK time.
Good luck the rest of you, there is some close boats out there.

hi all
the end of leg 1 is only 2hrs 40 something mins away congrats to Yqusta on completion first of the locosters, well done to all that finished the
course and better luck next time to the guys pulling up the rear (including me) dont forget the start on saturday for leg 2 which begins at 1300hrs
cet i believe thats 1100hrs gmt (please correct me if im wrong)
dont give up if your trailing behind as everyone discards their worse 2 (i think its 2) results so everyone has everything to play or should i say
sail for
good luck guys
