2009-08-18 06:30:54 - TWA0-Bug is back ?!
Hi,

I had a TWA0 today at leg4 of the Figaro. The night sailed K3 with a fixed cc. My first command today at 0510 utc was a twa around 092 by the steer tool (no direct number input). i saw the bend predictor line and leaved the mac. When i returned at 0620 utc the boat was in twa0-mode.
I used MacOS 10.5.8 and Firefox 3.5.2
Is the horrible bug back?

Bernd

Hi.

The command log shows that K3 2009-08-18 05:12:05.027564 actually sent a twa=0 command. We have no indication that this is a bug. Most likely you accidently sent the command or someone else knowing your login did. If this happens again please let us know.

Regards
Jakob

Hi Jakob,
thanks for your quick response.
That's the time when I changed from cc to twa. I saw the new predictor touching the Lizard and switched the mac back to standby (without touching the keyboard).
I don't think that anybody else changed the course (exact at the same time). Maybe the RORC, because i sailed nearby a rock formerly called Fastnet ;)
It's not a problem at this time because I started 9h late. When the problem appears again I will tell you.

Welcome to the fourth of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International .

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!
