Sorry, Gen Naker, I just haven't checked the forum in several days.
Good internet speed test:

Also needed to correct line in my post. Make that 200 kbps (not mbps).

Got locked out again. Noticed that all of s sudden, with no apparent reason after working fine for the whole day, a flash video wouldn't load from a local new site. Thought that was interesting so tried SOL out of interest and it also was not letting me in. I popped in this morning to see what island my boat was trying to shift and it was all worked fine.

Cleaned out entire browser history and still wouldn't work. Noticed it wouldn't allow me to click the 'Forms and Search History' box. CC Cleaner and still no go. Rebooted and still no go. Had another go at the browser history dump and this time it did let me check the 'forms and search history' box.

Now allowed back in.

So it's either something to do with Flash or something not being cleaned out due to not allowing that 'Forms and History' box to be checked or a combination of the 2. This is using Firefox 10.0.2

I'm going to track this bug or whatever it is and give it a sound kicking then quietly hide it in YYs boat :)

Just posted this as a FYI in case anyone else runs in to a similar issue. look to see if that forms and search history box is checked, I think it has something to do with it but no idea why.

OK, it's something to do with some websites that have Flash. It must be only a very few sites or maybe only certain things in those websites. They are playing with Flash and causing Flash to stop working.

All working fine. Went back to that news video

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/video/news/video.cfm?c_id=1501138&gal_cid=1501138&gallery_id=124418

and it all stopped working again and in doing so also blocked me from getting in to SOL races. I tried one of their other videos, after another clean out, and it worked fine. Go back to that video above and it all goes bad again.

Where is my big stick, I think someone needs 'The Bash!!'.

Note: The SOL Gods are fine and not the target of said stick. It appears SOL is only collateral damage.

At least now I can start leg 5 knowing how to get in and stop crashing into islands...... not that an island or 2 may not get smacked anyway I suspect :)

Oh, and I can get into either the old or the new interfaces now.

I do prefer the new one though.

Current Races:

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

Isla San Lorenzo RTI 2025


SOL’s SRC (Sailonline Race Committee) has taken us to some unusual places in the past, and San Lorenzo Island off Lima’s Callao peninsula is definitely another one. Housing a naval base and a penal institution, no vessel is allowed within 300m of its shores. Also, with no sources of potable water, it is a matter of debate whether it is an island at all, and not just a large rock. So, whatever you do, don’t be tempted to BBQ; you’ll be arrested and go thirsty! We return for the first time since 2018 to race thirteen potentially unlucky miles in J-30s; have fun!!

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!
