I entered a course change which didn't respond and then when I reloaded the race all I get is the end of the previous race. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

It's a pity that your last course was going to hit land in the next hour then.

Ah, well - there is method in that - cos I'm going into harbour to get flown back to the start - I can leave this boat there just incase anything breaks in the first section of the race - nip in and pick up a spare u see!! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

It's back on line. I reckon you have 20 mins before you're aground.

There used to be a percentage drop which slowly returned not sure how much though, you can see it in the polar diagram window.

Wow. He's allowed to 'play' on the computer AND you let him out.

I hope he appreciates you! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Not when she decides to navigate within sight of land ... not very good when that land is a little island and I come back to find she's been doing laps around it!!! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Ah well - better get it sorted so we can get the start sequence right at 12 tomorrow......

I've just found you, and see what you mean!

I don't feel so bad about going aground now /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I thought that was very good anchoring technique. Round up into the wind in the lee of the island and stop. Excellent.

Note how I have mentioned wash, wake shots and anchors in this forum already. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
