Ocean Racing- everyone welcome- andy mcinroyParticipant December 23, 2008 at 6:42 pm Don’t worry Mick, you won it in fine style. Despite all the problems with the restart, I really enjoyed this leg. A real scrap. Looking forward to the next. Northwards everyone. Mick451Participant December 24, 2008 at 12:06 am … PeteTheBlokeMember December 24, 2008 at 9:26 am Yep. That was good. The annoying thing about this game is its 24-hour-ness. You really do need to be careful if you’re going to have a sleep. In the Vendée (which is all done on the wide oceans, so takes a bit less attention) I carefully fought for an extra 2000 places and then lost them in one night because I accidentally left the wrong spinnaker up. You feel like chucking it all in…. but then you don’t. PeteWMember December 24, 2008 at 11:08 am Bugger, I’d forgotten all about that Vendee one, just checked it and had lost 96000 places. Currently lying 236326th somewhere near Antarctica …… Maybe this sailing lark’s not for me jb7Participant December 26, 2008 at 8:28 pm six times- BMParticipant December 27, 2008 at 10:49 pm Mick451Participant December 28, 2008 at 2:10 am … PeteTheBlokeMember December 28, 2008 at 10:01 am I fear some participants aren’t taking it seriously enough.

No luck. They’re clearly proude to have over 124k competitors but don’t know how to purchase/configure their servers. Amateurs. Rant over. jb7Participant January 18, 2009 at 3:37 pm Only two Mick? since you’re already breaking the rules with 3 hulls… BM, give it another go- no problems here apart from the wind on the nose the whole way up- Back to the usual tricks- changed course and instantly lost 55,00 places- RobMember January 19, 2009 at 12:19 am jb7 wrote: …changed course and instantly lost 55,00 places- Changed course myself, and instantly lost 115,000 places :shock: Torture, this is… I’ll never get any sleep at this rate… Rob.
