VOR

   I only ever look in this section so only came across this game when BS put up the Virtual Vendee thread a couple of years ago and enjoyed that one apart from going on holiday for a few days in December, missing an Ice gate and spending 3 days going back.

 Would not have been doing this one without spotting the thread on here, although I would be doing a bit better if it had the name @Virtual Volvo@ rather than VOR as I only opened it 3 days after the race started so missed all the fun the med

	Good to see the leaders of our little group have sailed into a large hole. Serves them right for paying extra for the fast boats and getting there first Hopefully us cheapskates at the back will be able to go round it, it is tempting to start trying to creep east but I think it may be best to wait until level with Rio before making a decision

	What is the deal with breakages? I have seen a few people complain about them on the VR forum but I don't know if it is tongue in cheek comments or are people really getting messages saying "oh dear, you have a broken halyard" or whatever....?

	No idea about breakages. Just broke the 500 miles to go barrier. The rich certainly got richer towards the end. I've struggled like hell to keep in wind last few days but those guys (who were only 40 miles away from me a few days ago) just managed to get far enough south to pick up a ton of wind and stick with it. They're now only 30miles from the showers!
