Getting the wind to show seems pretty intermittent.

I submitted a protest as a joke last night. It seems it's been taken seriously and a lot of other people have submitted them too... oops!

Good idea. Some one has stuck Madeira right in my way - can I protest about that?

Yep. Madeira is in my way as well. I'll sit in as a witness on your hearing. So the question is....should we all change course before the 7pm wind change. I think I will be.

I'm here too.... managed to make back the 1000+ places I lost last night and back in to top 500. Not looking too badly positioned for the forecast

Unfortunately back here in the pack, we're all going upwind so no chance of recovering the 30000 places I lost. You only have to head up a few degrees and you are losing a 1000 places every hour.
