Well look at you Turtle.... aren't you looking like the evil genius..

The Evil Genius... That would be a good name for your next boat.

I think there is something wrong with my wind charts. I keep refreshing but I don't see any wind arrows where you guys are. Oh wait, I see them now... 1kt wind arrows are very very dim.

Thanks Mike, you just had to rub some salt on it didn't you (Grin)

Mike. We picked this route on purpose. We are just trying manage our sails. :grin:

 

[dpvandy01]

Oh things are NOT looking good down here!

 

[Vince_nj1]

No worries.. At 5:00 the wind will shift and blow us back up North..

 

[Vince_nj1]

What happened to the wind? I think a jelly fish just passed me.

 

[Turtlesboat]

Looks like an Aquapalooza over there.

 

[Vince_nj1]

Ok.. Thats it.. I'm trading in my boat for one these..

Talk about the blind leading the blind!:huh:

Where are these lead boats taking me? To the roaring forties i thought, but the wind down there at the moment does not look that good:smt089

I think the boats way up north had the right idea, what do you all think?:smt100

 

[Turtlesboat]

Well right now it's a gamble with the winds against distance. Shorter distance south, better winds north. I still think it's too soon to tell who made the right move. Now that i'm south, the winds are crazy. One day you're doing 23knts, the next you're doing 7.

 

[Newbie]

Gary's probably gonna come back and kick all our arses. Winds way down here are going to be in the 20's, but in the wrong direction :smt009

Check out my course line. I'm wondering if I'm Gambling too much by staying on the Transit line. (Vessel name "Windera"). Good Winds to all! Al W.

 

[dpvandy01]

I'm thinking eventually I'm gonna have to turn east.... maybe time for some short term pain for long term gain!

15,000 places was my hit. . . .

[Turtlesboat]

I think you're in deep doodoo

 

[dpvandy01]

What a soupy mess... These winds are giving me a headache!

 

[Turtlesboat]

I think I'm headed into a hurricane.

Wingless is in there... without an EPIRB
