Vendee Globe 2020 - Virtual Race

[DRIFTW00D]

good job dad. some day he will drag u out on the water for a sail

OK I’ve had the no log in thing too. The iPad Air with a old app won’t let me in. The iPad Air 2 all the latest iOS up dates and game updates is getting in .

could be a lack of the latest offshore game app update in the air. I dumped the game app in the air2. Got a fresh one that went straight to update at instillation on the store page and all good. Now I’ll try to get the Samsung 7 phone going and the iPad Air next...

update your offshore app was a message I saw in the game..

Hey gang, checking in Siafu is the boat.

 

[chuso007]

Mine's called "Lateral Festivis" (it's a long story)

 

[Laser1]

Evening chaps,

'Hotfoot' taking part in the cheap seats/Corinthian class.

Would be good to know what difference all the 'to buy' options make further down the track.

And then find a way to hide that from her indoors.

Have fun!

Hi all, I’m in as well AUS 3572. 

 

[Kenny Dumas]

It’s killing me to not have a light jib. I went from 40K to 140K since it lightened up. 100 fucking thousand boats sailed right past me!!  
 

Time to start Cheap Anarchy YC. We’ll start it as a team and apply for YC status if it matters maybe. Any words of wisdom on how to best start a team?  Is it a problem to call a team and YC the same name etc?  
 

Sorta like JAM:  polish only 

Please create a new boat if you are running a better rig already. You can start at the frigate with a new boat. 

 

[Kenny Dumas]

BTW Mom, please don’t join our team!

BTW Mom, please don’t join our team!

don't know how many times Mom has to state she doesn't join teams ...

Good morning.

Rankings from approx 00:30 UTC on 10 Nov.

I think top performance marks for today go to Sticky with a tacking angle of precisely 126°. At the moment it is a balancing act of maximising pressure and heading.

Let me know if I have missed anyone - (although I am fairly certain I haven't missed myself today!).  CapnK will be kicked off tomorrow unless he actually starts sailing as his DNS screws up my sorting.

You Mom flies solo.

I have 1,072 pages of followers in the game, so I guess that's about 15,000.  I'd guess maybe 500-1,000 have asked me to join teams.  PITA.  I eventually formed a private team of one called "Sorry no team" just so people wouldn't think I was teamless.  That seemed to help, as the requests dropped off after that.

I suppose I should have just joined a proper team instead.  I just prefer to be able to race how I race, communicate with whoever, feel no obligation to help anyone (although I usually try to help everyone), etc.

Really rough next 48 hours. Just kinda winging it. Fucking hate getting to the Azores.

Hello,

You will be in tomorrow's update.

[Raz'r]

I'm in, SVKahoots.

This coming weather pattern is a challenge....

 

[Mudsailor]

@mud No wind updates it’s constant change. With the current forecast  run ending at the change to another new forecast run. I look to the current run in the windy app in the  game forecast GFS Mode, For the big picture.

Driftwood - I meant when does the forecast update

 

[Your Mom]

Driftwood - I meant when does the forecast update

Once every 6 hours, in conjunction with NOAA's GFS updates.

In my time zone (US Central), it starts at 0330, 0930, 1530, and 2130.  You'll need to convert to your own time zone.  Usually the impact actually starts 10-15 minutes after that.  If there's a big change from prior forecast, though, you might see it continue to adjust for a while after.  Sometimes as much as an hour later, in volatile places like the doldrums.

If you're using Zezo for routing, it takes 90 minutes for it to get the full 16-day forecast into the routing.

OK, you'll be in tomorrow.
