    @Aaron - The question was refering to the old predictor..

    @Pergite: I'm sure it does!!! weather, windshift ect..

    Those guys are somewhat crazy :)

    And this is not simply cool: it is amazing!
    Almost too good!

    Wonderful work Jakob et al!

    Guess you missunderstood my answer, Jakob - I was refering to "how to put it in a new manual"
    sorry - wasn't too clear myself.
    language is full of obstacles. *stumble*

    Yeah - it is somewhat tricky to get this one a hundred percent clear.
    Should I get an "inspiration" (lol) about it, I'll let you know.

    Hi
    .. first of all:
    great site ! So a big "Hurray" for the brains+fingers behind the game: Tack sa mycket.

    Finally decided to read the manual and kind of got a simple question, yet tricky to express:

    "In front of your boat is a "predictor" showing where your boat would be in 6 hours if the conditions where frozen as they are right now"

    Suppose wind would be frozen and the weather shows e.g. 10knts at t=0-2h and 20knts at t=2-6h along the cours.

    Is the length of the "predictor" calculated on( v=10 for 6h) or (v=10 for 2h + v=20 for 4h) ?

    Guess it is option (1) but just wanted to be sure.

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!
