2009-11-20 01:14:19 - Server lost
I lost the SOL-Server around 0000 GMT 2009-11-20 for about 30 min (tested from several pcs and 2 locations). The same failure showed up at 2009-11-18 at about 1800 GMT.
A common problem or only here (Germany) ?

Greetings I also experienced this "Unable to Connect to Server" anomaly yesterday. Not sure if others who stayed in the program were affected or not. I signed off for a meal and after about 1.5 hours could not raise even the homepage to SOL. I am in the US (Michigan) so this was not just in Europe. I wondered if this was a symptom of a DNS snafu of some sort & if this was the case it would be helpful to know the numerical designation for the SOL server in case of a future repeat of this type of episode.

I just downloaded the Sailonline client and I constantly get an error saying "Lost connection with the server, could not update boats". I can play the game with the online client but not the one on my computer, is there something I can do or just wait?

That is an old client which is not used anymore. Throw it away and browse here http://www.sailonline.org/windy/run/187/#

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!
