Your Mom 985 #2111 Posted February 18, 2018 Hi everyone - Just returned from a Boy Scouts campout with my son. Very limited cell connectivity. Part of my reasoning on the flyer was because I knew I'd be better off in open ocean this weekend. Very happy that I wasn't dealing with island hopping when my cell would only connect from certain places, very slowly, inconsistently. That jump to HK and back was weird, and I'm very happy it happened while I was sleeping. I think it was a bug associated with me entering the Western hemisphere (which VR may have not anticipated). As far as I can tell, they did a decent job of putting my boat back on track in the right place. They put me in with TWA on, whereas I should have been straight-lining it, but aside from that, it seems ok, and the wind wasn't shifting too much, and I was online 2-3 hours later, so not consequential. But if my route winds up winning, then I'll have to deal with conspiracy theorists who think VR helped my for some dumbass reason (I can't imagine VR helping an American named Your Mom who already is #1 in the world to win the leg). I have something like 230 hours to go, and I'm doubtful about the lead pack needing anywhere near that much time (haven't checked), so I'm still not optimistic. But it's been fun, and I've never seen 4 kts. I think my route would be a winner without the 4-kt minimum windspeed... Leaders would be slogging through 0.8-kt winds right now while I'm doing 20. But I knew about the 4-kt min when I chose this route, so I have no grounds for complaint. Mostly, I was just really sick of the doldrums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mostly, I was just really sick of the doldrums. 170ish hours to the finish for me, but I’m taking the flyer to the SW and coming into NZ on an easterly route. The leaders appear to be heading due south, so they haven’t taken the bait from zezo. I figured what the hell. Got tired of following the leaders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cards suck, they cost a lot to buy. I would be in a far better position if I had ponied up for 2 navigation packs near Japan instead of sailing the wrong way for 6 hours.. Was just wondering if anyone will beat me on distance sailed this leg! I just bite the bullet and purchase a full option package....figure it is about the cost of a movie and gawd knows, I spend a lot more time on a LEG than going to one movie!

Noticed different design for cards, social button instead of only search back in the race screen (and not only on the home screen) and now it seems the first race where you only can enter if you pony up real money. Finally made it almost through the doldrums. What a mess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be fun to watch from the other side. That’s where I am at the moment. Currently heading in a southeasterly direction which will take me south of the northern tip of NZ, then back up and over. Should be rounding the tip of NZ in about 43hours. The current leaders are up north heading in a southerly direction. I don’t think they will be at the top of the standings too much longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are on my screen! I also like our current position. It's an interesting leg, first to go far west after passing the Solomon Islands, now moving quite far to the south. A lot of patience is needed, but it's no lottery, imo. Lost some miles by trying to cross the doldrums straight to the south before I decided to turn west... Good Winds to All!

My rankings cohorts have become busy with life and haven’t been able to post their groups. I have two additional boats to keep track of groups A and B, but I haven’t had time every day to capture all three. I should be able to today, but the postings will be more sporadic.

I knew you weren’t having a go at me, but your post reminded me that it would be cool to see updated standings with the split fleet. All is good. I went from top 150 to somewhere around 3500 Andy now I’m back in the top 1000. It will be interesting to see how this all falls out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
