Ciao Cappy ;) and ALL solers ;)

In my role of Coordinator , I want to answer your well placed point , regarding the tech irregularity occurred on Feb 22nd .

Firstly rest assured that the matter has been tackled immediatly , as soon as first event took place . In actual facts some 16 boats in total have been affected by the event . The SOL Tech engine room and SOL OPS started discussions immediatly , and investigation plans for implementation of corrective actions are in place since about half day through on the 22nd .

I am not the right person to talk about it , but preliminary response is that being the race area spanning beyond the midnight line , when some boats , who eventually lost interest in the race, or lost contact with the boat, and sailed eastbound towards the boundry , actually hit the eastern boundry line , were teleported to the west of the race area , exactly at same latitude , with a 270 deg heading jump .

This software irregularity event would clash with the awareness that since a few years we are able to sail in the pacific , crossing the midnight line , thanks to the efforts of Brainaid , who fixed the previuos problem we had .

We now learn , thanks to 16 solers who dared to go where no man had gone before , that hitting the boundry beyond the midnight line strikes an irregular reaction by the server ;)))))))) ( Klingon server ...not liking that we sail into the neutral zone ?????? ) ....


a part from kidding , I wanted to reassure you that the issue is looked at since the first few minutes , as it happened .....and hopefully will be fixed quite soon ......well ...for the time being we just need not to fly to the neutral zone....;) ;) ;)

And , lastly , we are about to issue very special Award Certificates to those 16 who dared to go where no man had gone before , for the " most gigantic jump performance ever seen in SOL " !!! ;)

ciao ciao

Piero

Skimmer Dragonfly - India to East Africa 2026


In the autumn, when the rains stop and the tourists thicken in Goa and along the north western coast of India, globe skimming dragonfly climb to the skies (up to 1500m) to catch the high-altitude ITCZ winds and glide south west to East Africa. We’ll stay at sea level, where alas the winds will be less predictable, and race them there, the whole 2400nm of the way, in Carkeek 40s.

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
