Just got in, and checked the rudder only to find a large clump of weed, several trawler nets with trawlers attached and container of dodgy taiwanese goods!

So now making some headway, and with the wind due to fill in for me in two hours time, I should be off without dropping down below 60000th.

My lack of smartphone and lack of employer willing to let me play from work is seriously hampering boatspeed!

For some reason I just lost 4,500 places in 10 mins. How did that happen?

To be fair it was his thread so we can't really grumble Wink
 
I got about 10k in the same 10 mins. Think I may be missing something in that I can't get the weather forecasts on the site to work or see any grids?

Looks like the site just crashed. Got French message saying maintenance is being done.

Same, what happens during maintainance, do we all carry on where we were going? I was looking quite nice so it would be good to make some gains!

Well I'm left questioning their parentage!!!!!  I suspect I'm now head to wind (and have been for 25 mins).
