Hi!
How do I add a photo in the label which pops upp when I tick on a pushpin, start dot, course line, etc.?

Race four (150Nm) is now ready to launch. But I check, recheck and check again (very insecure), who check that I have done everything correct?

Any e-mail address?



In some cases is it impossible for me to follow your guide lines.

1. Position start and finish of
longer races clear of immediate
obstacles, as many players
might want to use delayed
commands.

Either you race or not. What say´s that some don´t need DC´s in the middle of the race? No, this is NOT a good idea!

2. Fine-tune the Latitude and the Longitude.

Almost impossible as my courses so far are located in very narrow waters. Fine tuning put the lines and pushpins on the "high way". ;)

3. The finish line should be
approximately perpendicular to the
line between the last waypoint and
the finish.

This is just for lazy/late skippers who want to use DC and CC over the line. I think we should try to minimize the numbers of pushpins if possible instead.

4. The length of the finish line should be...

Physical impossible in some of my races as the waters are too narrow.



PS. I don´t want to flash all my mistakes on the Forum. I´m ready to share my courses via the Forum when I know I have done them properly.

2010-02-26 21:10:17 - Caribbean Sprint 2010
IMHO the Caribbean Sprint can and should be re-run many times with preference starting early Fridays. That is a perfect race for a long snowy weekend.
What a great race that is.
Cheers,
Antonio

2010-02-28 18:50:00 - Archipelago races
I also prefer archipelago races and Caribbean Sprint is one of them.

If you like or prefer fairly short archipelago races, you should know that I have sent Inco four (4) races which I hope will be launched during the upcoming spring 2010.

Ladys and Gents,

What is the next race?

I had family issues during the weekend and could not race the "Mini800NM part 2" and the "Figaro Transat" is too much for me to chew.

So, I am sitting on the dock bored and longing for a race.

Please any race, but a long long one.

Thanks all,
Antonio

If you are referring to the link in Incognito's first post in this thread to the Google Earth Race Proposals PDF, you can find that file here:

I saved a copy there when someone else was having trouble opening it as well.

HTH, HAND,

Africa by Sea 2025 - Suez to Port Said


When Napoleon (briefly) occupied Egypt at the turn to the 19th C, he ordered his expedition’s Directeur des Ponts et Chaussées, Jacques-Marie Le Père, to evaluate the ancient, derelict, infilled course of a Ptolemaic canal connecting the Red Sea to the Nile via the Great Bitter Lake, versus a new canal to the Mediterranean directly. Neither were considered feasible – locks to climb a pauvre-surveyed 10m sea-level difference, or continuous dredging of the Nile, would both be equally financially prohibitive. Fifty years passed before the unlikeliness of Le Père’s survey finding was challenged and a French Compagnie Universelle du Canal Maritime de Suez obtained a 99-year concession from the Khedive of Egypt, Said Pasha, to construct and operate a canal from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, much against the will of the Ottoman Sultan, Abdulmecid I (the Pasha’s nominal overlord), and the wishes of the (Irish) British prime minister, Lord Palmerston. The year was 1859, the very number of this race (planning, dear boy, planning!), which, despite the canal’s double-super-tanker gauge and lack of locks, is strictly prohibited to sailors IRL. But not SOLers! 85nm in Fareast 28Rs to complete your circumnavigation of Africa!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
