Ah - I've been wondering whose that boat was!

This going back business some how gained me 15k in places, but I'm heading into a hole now, so it could take me a while

Yes, going in the right direction at last although it has been a costly couple of weeks due to mistakes and holidays. Hopefully see you in the Doldrums

If we are giving out plaudits for keeping going after being off track my favourite has to be Evliic who managed to crash into Florida but is now going strong having just passed Gough Island in 278,000 place.

Tad80, I thought you were man overboard, but you obviously had a long sleep.
Looks like Dougal and I have take some big miles out of the forum leaders over Christmas. I know I've been racking some big 24 hour runs and suspect Dougal has even bigger over the last 24 hours. |

598.5 miles in the last 24 hours - how has everyone else done? Yes, it's been a good week or so for us rb. I just managed to catch the coat tails of a few systems which meant I avoided some of the holes others (both behind and in front) sailed into. Talking of coat tails, I am still on yours and just lining up a pass!

Just re-checked the dashboard - 599.9 miles to 1800GMT. So close to the magic 600!!

Yes, thought you made some record miles. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the best of anyone in the game, without options.
I was giving up a bit of top speed for better downwind VMG, so "only" made 585.5 miles to 19:00hrs today. We both definitely benefitted from hanging on to a weather system....don't think I've had less than 30 knots for a couple of days now.
