	As many/most of you will be aware, Sailonline's server provider was subjected to a protracted DDOS (denial of service) attack from late Saturday, 16 November, until a little while ago this evening (17 November). For most of this time, the Sailonline server and the Antwerp-Belfast Race were running normally, but just before 1400utc today, access to the game was lost. Many are now racing again but clearly there has been an outage that will have affected strategy and, even now, is preventing the wx files from updating. We have three options - please vote on which you consider to be the fairest outcome here: Please note that a restart is not possible due to other calendar commitments. Obviously the course can be re-run at some other point in the future. THE POLL WILL CLOSE AT 0800UTC ON MONDAY 18 NOVEMBER ______________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-11-17 18:48:12 ---

	Personally, I am just going to continue north up the North Sea coast and visit the places of my youth, drop in to Newcastle and Durham, Alnwick and Dunstanborough, see North Sunderland and Beadnell, Bamborough and Berwick all again at my leisure with the help of Google Earth--------- If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	Rod - I like that idea... maybe you should/could give us a commentary of what you find and how different it looks from your youth (if it does)!

	Rod That sounds awesome - please post here with pics and any commentary that you have. I would love to learn something about the east coast of the British Isles....

	For what it is worth my start dc seems to have decided to take a leave of absence so I'm only starting now. I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

	At 8am the poll was clearly in favour of continuing racing so - this is what will happen. Thank you to all who participated in the vote.

Great Bear Ice Race 2025

You can fly to Great Bear Lake Airport, but if the ice is good, instead hire a pick-up truck, load your disassembled DN into the cargo bed and drive, first following the McKenzie River north, and then straight across the lake to the start of our final Ice Boat series race of roughly 100nm in length. The Airport authorities have agreed to leave all lights on, so you should just about be able to see where you are going as you zing and rumble, PL-free over the ice!

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!
