AAaaaaargh. Stupid interface. Clocked off yesterday at 0200h, with still a headland to round, having climbed back from 500th to 50th position. Race game executes turn too late, and I miss the finish line by 500 meters.

If you give an order to be executed in 2 hours at 1803, the computer will execute it at 2015. Disobedient crew!

I think there would have been a weather update around 1830, are you sure the forecast didn't change and the boat sailed slower or quicker than the prediction before the update?

Well Done again Trev, I better not miss the next one.

Thanks all. Been on holiday on the boat for the last 2 weeks.
SWMBO was not best happy when we had to tack inshore so I could get a mobile signal to change course on SOL. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Perhaps I need therapy.!
