Maybe I'll swap the beer to the windward side for the next leg.

Looks like it. Dont forget though that even sailing on the same heading you might have different wind angles if you're not on top of each other.

It's a game and the best way to make money is to hook people in and sell them extras.

Made it to the finish at around midnight, 8311, not the worst but certainly hoping to be much higher in the next leg. Too many dodgy calls from me in this leg. To be honest I am surprised to be in the top 10k or even 20k after where I came out of the southern ocean!

Tom,
I think your boat has been impounded by the iranians.

Tell me about it. I was in the top 1000 around mauritius and 250 miles ahead of everyone else I've added as a friend from on here. I was lucky to finish in the top 10, 000.

That is me done
22528. Might look at upgrading for the next leg although they won't prevent the basic tactical blunders I made at the start of this leg!
