So cannot even get started. Apparently I am stuck in Ireland drinking beer. My son says he can see me there.

Looked for clues on the websites but none work. Others obviously have the same problem

Hi

Cleaning the cache of the browser helps out most commen problems with no display. Check if you have a good version of flash installed (not needed if it was ok before).

We have some cases of people behind a proxy-server that experiencing problems.

Let us know if this helps, sorry to be so technical.

Still stuck in the pub.

Flash upgraded and the other one.
Cache cleaned.
Tried IE and Firefox.
Closed firewall (and reopened it).
Turned modem thing off and on.
Swore at the computer.

First time this sort of thing has happened.

Strange

So sailonline did work before you had this problem?
You have sailed in other races without issues?

Real strange I will see what other tips I can give.

Yup. It is strange. Mind you, I am behind the Great China Firewall, but it lets me into the website http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/147/# and I get the screen with three icons on the left top, and the message at the bottom, "waiting to download the weather map".

If it was the Great Chinese Firewall, they would not let me into the website at all, never mind make posts..

I just registered on http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/148/# but the same thing. I have no problem with the Volvo race and finished 1,000,000th or something.

If you are in China it's probably proxy servers that is in some way confusing our servers....

Red Eye 2026 - Georgian Bay

Welcome to the sensational scenic Georgian Bay of northern Lake Huron, the first area of the Great Lakes to be visited by Europeans in 1615, so former SOLer A2R informed us when he designed this geometrically tortuous course of 317nm criss-cross through its island maze. Originally known as Lake Manitoulin, in 1822 the bay was renamed after King George IV after his succession to the throne. This time we’ll take the very flashy Fareast 31R, which hopefully should keep you wide awake!

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
