Washy - did what you saw have the map on the rhs and a control panel on the lhs?
If so, just click and drag the heading arrow on the "compass rose" to change direction...

At the back of the pack it was possible to make some big gains (and losses) on the tripnto the atlantic. I think now the gains will be harder making the right decision much more important.
Successfully confusing ambition with ability since 1980.

Have just started out, they seem to let you in mid fleet which is good so already ahead of Gruitt and Sargesail who seemed to have stop for a beer in Gib.
Said I was going to do this after the last Vendee but will give the first leg a go and see what happens, not going to pay for any extras and will only be checking a couple of times a day.
Is it the same as last time in terms of wind and weather changes at 7am and 7pm?

I think if you join part way thru they insert you at te 70th percentile (or some such). Yup, 0700 and 1900 wind changes (this'll change next weekend, yes?)
