2009-03-06 13:44:50 - weather southly 70º?
My great circle to the Hoorn touches 70.5º south - the SOL-weather seems to end at 70º. In google earth I can see that the northern tip of the ice edge is around 72º south. Can you please add another 1 or 2 degrees weather? Otherwise I have to choice a longer way than needed.

Thanks

Stu

I have the same problem but i think it wouldn't be fair to the northern ones to change the edge of the virtual sea now.

Jakob: That could be considered sad for you and all the other northern europeans who, whilst experienced at seeing the Northern Lights and the sun not setting in the Artic Circle, may feel disappointed at not seeing the Southern Lights and the Antartic Circle, not to mention all the penquins, unique to the Southern Ocean.

Just pondering you understand !! LOL.

Cheers
If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

@K3: true. I didn't want to take advantage :-)
But in fact the shortest way of everybody would have been through the ice ;-)

Red Eye - Myth of Malham 2025

In 1947, Hugh McLean & Sons of Gourock, Scotland built a radical racing yacht for John Illingworth, soon-to-be Commodore of the RORC, to a design by Laurent Giles. With a masthead rig, giving her ‘free’ sail area per the rules of the time, and short overhangs reducing pitching, Myth of Malham went on to win The Fastnet that year and again in 1949, and to compete in numerous Admiral's Cups. In 1958, in honour of the yacht, the Myth of Malham race was conceived - a mini-Fastnet to the first lighthouse on a rock west of Cowes, Eddystone, rather than the second, to be held in non-Fastnet years. IRL this year it has been raced already, but this stops us not from “Red Eye” racing its online 230nm in Fareast 31Rs, leaving how to deal with the Isle of Wight open to your own discretion.

Africa by Sea 2025 - Maputo to Mogadishu


The fifth leg of our exploration of Africa By Sea takes us north along the length of the Continent’s succulent sub-tropical and tropical Indian Ocean coast. Much fought over by traders and colonists both well-before and after a Portuguese expedition under the command of Vasco da Gama first sailed there from Europe back in the 16th century, it is yet to be properly explored as a yachting destination. With plenty of islands off- and inshore, small and very large, there is much to interrupt your 1900nm voyage and visit in your Swan 65, from Maputo to Mogadishu! Race #1858
