    You're Right :)

    & 'F' stands for Fumes
    Oh? I thought it meant something else! Like in "Oh f... - forgot to fill!"

    BTW, I have tried uploading an avatar, how long does it take to appear by my posts?

    Doesn't "E" mean "enough"?

    Thanks for your help. Perhaps I should have worded my Q differently: Is the distance to go shown by the game calculated along the great circle, or does it assume a flat ocean? I infer from your answer however that it must be the great circle distance. Thanks again.

    Great Circle Route
    Board » General Discussion
    Forgive me if this subject is covered elsewhere, but does the game take into account that the shortest route over longer distances is a Great Circle? Or do the game maps not account for this?

    Son's computer seems to have been hit with a trojan infostealer. Computer was frozen from yesterday afternoon to this morning. Have been busy trying to sort that one out all today. Just tried SOL again on my XP machine & BINGO, voila, eureka, whatever - it worked, weather downloaded, chart is up, going to check it out now.

    Hi Rainbow Chaser, I updated Java to v6 update 20 (build 1.6.0_20-b02) yesterday. I believe I now have latest everything. Hope to try connecting later on another Vista computer with cable connection to the router.

    Tried IE8 on the XP machine last night with same result.

    Captjack I am in Barbados. I am also using a wireless home network router. I tried your suggestion to disable, re-enable & reconnect but it has made no difference. I will try to connect on another Vista machine with cable connection to the router and let you know if it works. If it is worth anything, I have been playing on the VirtualRegatta.com site for the last year with no connection problems.

    Update: I have updated Java to v6 update 20 (build 1.6.0_20-b02). Shut down computer & restarted. Reloaded game and same thing: stuck at "Waiting for weather download...". Only thing left is to try other computer which my son is hogging. Will have to wait till he goes to bed.

    You need flash player 9 or higher. Other than that, if you are using internet explorer, try Firefox instead (or Chrome or Safari).
    Thanks for trying to help. See my first post: Windows XP Home 2002 SP3, Firefox 3.6.3, Adobe Flash 10,1,53,64; 1 Mb/s connection

    No corporate or other proxy. Java usually updates automatically. How can I check if it needs to be updated now?

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!

Roma Giraglia Regata 2026

Our eighth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil – is another buddy-up; this one with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . Founded in 1984, as the new Traiano yacht Harbour neared completion, the Circola since then has developed into one of the major yachting competition centres in Italy, and next to the 450nm Roma per Tutti (which SOL buddied earlier in the year), the Roma Giraglia Regata is its other headline offshore event. First raced in 2005, the 210nm course takes competitors from Traiano to a rock on the inside of the Ile de la Giraglia off the northern tip of Corsica and back to the Italian mainland for a finish in the bay of Santo Stefano. We’re racing this one in our Class 40!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.
