“How do you manage to get everyone on the screen at the same time?”
Screenshots of each one.
Place each screenshot on a layer in photoshop.
Set each layer set to ‘lighten’.Made up about 5000 places since yesterday. I just seem to have found a little more wind than most by the look of it…still no sign of JB though!
Anyone seen that 24hr wind forecast ? We’re gonna be here a while me thinks

JB is just crossing the Equator, and we all have to watch it from a distance. It’s a pity that buying an engine is not given as an option.
Anyone want to talk tactics?
I see there are quite a few who went out west-
they might find themselves losing ground when they get further south,
when they have to beat into the wind to round the mark,
and avoid a whole continent-The wind is favourable at the moment for nudging back east…
Not advice, you understand, just a comment…

Tactics?
Last night I was considering starting a little project to spell out the word “Feck” or other rude words in my boat trail.
Jaysus Andy, take it serious, would ya??
Besides, can you do joined up writing??
Right
Wonka, you do the F
Mick, you do the E
Marks’s on C
and I’ll do KAll together now, 3,2,1,………
What the fecks going on with the wind? I checked the 12hr, 24hr & 36hr predictions for the wind about 30 minutes ago. I checked again and the whole thing has changed completely. Someone is taking the pith, methinks.
The best I could do now Andy would be a full-stop.

He’s probably got one of those already…
The wind is updated twice a day, 11am/pm Irish time, at the moment-
after that it’s what it says on the arrows for the next 12 hours-There’s a friend of mine with a boat (Mannanan) near some of you – he does some sailing in the real world, so his tactics/direction might be of some use.
I’m just making it up as I go along …
Edit: Looking at his “trail”, I think he and his crew have been on the grog or else have jumped overboard!!
‘Dunkerry Dinghy calling’
Can you believe it, a breeze has come out of nowhere and saved my skin.
Someone get poor Bearloir on the marine band and tell him he’s on a rock. He’s going to be like a Bear(loir) with a sore head when he wakes up and finds out what has happened to his cruiser.
Andy
I’ll try and give him a nudge.
Might take me a week to reach him at these speeds though.
Swimming would be faster.
Or maybe I could learn to walk on water like Jaybesus7.The Bear, Alimony and Mannanan are about to crash into each other.
I hope it happens soon – I want to watch but will be leaving work soon!
