VOR Leg 1 Alicante to Lisbon

[~Stingray~~]

Not yet. But I still have the position reports spreadsheets from the last edition which I used to convert the data for import in OpenCPN. I presume this edition will be more or less the same.

Sweet - thank you, looks like there’s more fun to be had there.

My whole morning is fucked.  Oh well.  Well worth it.  It was very engaging.  Conrad having the presence of mind to just be quiet and let the image speak for itself.  That is priceless.

I like the Mojo onboard Azko.

Just lovely.  Brings tears to me eyes.

I agree, lovely shots.
But personally I am glad I can watch this from my chair. 
I have the deepest respect for these guys (in general - all boats).

Unfortunately the download from FB is only lo-res, but maybe better than nothing?

I'll take it down when there's an official upload to the VOR YT channel.

Is that the shore guy that went to bed on Saturday night doing control systems, data shit etc and woke up Sunday a VOR Navigator?? If so he is doing a pretty awesome job.

Try sneaking that in while at work ;-)  I had three browsers open to keep on top.  At to that picture, yeah...and all that.

This happened to me last time at the office.  Working from home now I have no self discipline and fear I will be broke and on the street if the race continues like this.

Rennie, (good to see you posting again), any tips on how you posted that live link earlier? I'm guessing it was from the image bank . . .

Hi stief, good to "see" you again.

No rocket science:
- Go to the VOR Facebook site, section "Videos": https://www.facebook.com/pg/volvooceanrace/videos/?ref=page_internal
- Right click on the video 
- Select "Show video URL"
- Copy URL and paste it here

Remember, it's a loooooong race and you are shorthanded so try to not spend ALL your energy too soon

Got it--thanks. Might be enough to force me into getting a FB account. Sigh.

if you have any tips for getting the "raw content" to display here too, TIA.

MAPF now well into the Gibraltar slalom--18.8 knots; AKZN at 17.3.

Vestas sailing with both boards all the way up, but I can't see the keel bulb in any of the videos.  I assume it's fully canted, but would have thought a little board down for better lateral resistance would make sense.  Maybe the keel isn't fully canted?  Does cant show up in telemetry?

If this is any indication of how the coverage is going to be it’s going to be a real pleasure to follow. 

Unfortunately not close enough to land most of the time

Now I want to get greedy and have them show the great battle between TtT and Scally.

Night by then

I hope the tracker update caught Akzo in a gybe for they show only 10.7 in a spot where they should be flying.  Even when they go to longer updates, running a few short hops might be nice so one would not have to look at a bad number and wonder for 6 hours.  Hoping it's just a rough gybe like vs11 had.
