rtbiscuit Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I can't believe martin joined he wrong race! Quote
JT1703 Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I know What chance has he of finding Rio from from the west coast of France if he can't find the button to press for the right race ?!?!? Get yourself registered for the right race Martin before 9am ( The Clipper 09-10 Round the World Yacht Race ) Quote
JT1703 Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 and they're off .................... Quote
rich5259 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 forgot the start, but turned south and made up 14,000 places in 5 minutes Quote
JT1703 Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I am currently 1934th ( which doesn't sound great but there are 14000 boats behind me ! ) Quote
martinmac Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 forgot the start, but turned south and made up 14,000 places in 5 minutes You may regret that later. Quote
rich5259 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 forgot the start, but turned south and made up 14,000 places in 5 minutes You may regret that later. me and most of the rest of the fleet it seems. Perhaps your alternative strategy will work out but i didn't like the forecast winds for the next 36 hours if i went due west Quote
JT1703 Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 I am sticking with my plan to head south .... very suspicious of Martin heading WNW though What does he know that we don't ?!? Quote
martinmac Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 A very good reason for that, I cant log on. Quote
JT1703 Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 A very good reason for that, I cant log on. and there was me thinking that you knew something we didn't ! I misjudged the strong winds during the night and nearly got beached on the north coast of Spain Bobbing west at 2 knots now Quote
martinmac Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 This is all so familiar. At least I can log on now. Quote

Sarnie Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I've just registered but have no idea what to do!! Quote
JT1703 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I've just registered but have no idea what to do!! Wouldn't worry about it ... I registered 3 days ago and still don't have a clue what I'm doing ( hence my current position of 35000ish !! ) Point your boat down wind and hope for the best ! Quote
Beavis Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I've just registered but have no idea what to do!! Name? Just get some wind in your sails, made 10000 places up since yesterday. Quote
Beavis Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Where the **** is Mike going? Rio is in south america not the north Quote
JT1703 Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Where the **** is Mike going? Rio is in south america not the north I did notice that. If he keeps on that heading he'll hit Canada sometime next week !! Quote
