Hahaha! I could do with the laugh as well but popping the kite would mean sailing west! I'll stick with South for now.

Well no change of course for 48 hours has done less damage than I thought.  Better keep going!

It looks like the leaders have a good few days of light headwinds - Bootscooter is looking very well placed right now.
 
 
What could possibly go wrong?

As of this afternoon, I'm off to Spain for 3 days. Going to point the boat due south and hope the wind is kind to me....x fingers

Just leave us your log in and password - we'll look after the old girl for you.  Apparently Brazil is very nice this time of year LOL!

Was tempted to ask my wife to change course for me, but reckon I'll be in even more trouble for that than sailing off course for a bit!

Just logged on - after 2 days of steadily gaining 190,000 places (yes, things were that bad) I have lost 42000 in 3.5 hours without sailing into any holes or losing any speed.  I really don't get how they work out the rankings.

Rankings and target has now just changed - Atlantic gate has been moved further east.
