Thought I could just point it at the finish and go to bed. Spent 4 hours aground having randomly changed heading!!

IPhone app is terrible. I can use my android tablet, but the information you can get via a PC is much better.

Macbook Pro is my weapon of choice, has pretty much taken over from tablet use for me. 13 inch with retina display and the solid state drives. Boots up in 5 seconds, so as quick as a tablet to use and it runs VR!

Tom, you only need to check it twice a day, once at 7am and once at 7pm. The wind doesn't change between those times.

It does if you sail through different wind direction/speed arrows... |

When you are in the trade winds twice a day isn't to costly but when the wind is more mixed up you run the risk of spending a few hours stuck head to wind or going DDW or with that old familiar chestnut when you log in in the morning and discover 'you have been sailing with a bad sail for 5 hours 23 mins'
Finished a couple of days ago at 10578, made a big gain by heading close to the ice gates in the south Atlantic as I crossed the equator at about 20,000. Tom,I think you followed within a couple of grids of me most of the way from just north of the Canaries up until deep into the south Atlantic when I went a little further south. |

Ah see I cheated and paid for auto sails and the programmable headings so that I could have some sleep from time to time!

So off we go again this afternoon, everyone ready? Tricky leg this one, get too far south and the trip north becomes hard, go too far north and eastward speed is an issue.
