+31NL | The next leg start on the 16th of May. Simon: Something I learned about long distance racing in general is that unless you are 100% sure a bold move will pay off its best to stay in the middle of the course or with the rest of the pack. (Thats why I finished Texel as 90th last year instead of 50th as we could have done  ). | | | Re: results so far.

See above; the east / middle route was going to need way more time at the keyboard and I was essentially away from a computer for 48 hours. This I had little option but to go west.

+31NL | Tomorrow is the start of Leg 6, unfortunately there will be no VX40s waiting for us when we get there  : Good luck to all! USA here we come!!
Are you ready for Leg 6? Or as the average American motivational speaker would say: "ARE YOU RRREEAADDYY?". We're going to the land of the brave and the home of the free. It might be a bit different than Rio with its hot... weather, but trust us Boston in May is no punishment either! Boston is the birthplace of the American Revolution, one of the oldest cities in the United States and most important the home of Samuel Adams beer! The Leg race is expected to take 3-4 weeks about and will start Saturday. | | | Re: results so far.

california | Yea I missed two sections of the last leg . Now this leg starts and im gone for about a week. But I will be enjoying my new Camper and Tiger at the lake. Oh to choose real sailing or virtual sailing.
I'll take real sailing any day. Especially since my injury Its been almost 6 months since I flew a Hull.

Looking for a Job, I got credi... | I'm doing OK at present(around 600th), but I am going to be slap bang in the middle of a wind box at the next update which is a bit worrying. Also looks like there is going to be much less wind close to shore!!!!

Naples, FL | My boat is heading east with no skipper. I will be gone for the next 6 days. If someone wants to drive our 2 boats here are the codes.

Thanks For some reason, I think when you get back Capt. Jack Sparrow will have probably put your boats over the edge of the world....

New Hampshire, USA | WOW! By the time I logged in you had taken an easterly route. It looks like you were just going to cross the Atlantic.

New Hampshire, USA | Let me know when that African check comes, I have been waiting a few years for mine. Again, sorry that I did not catch it in time, but I did try to get you back up in the right direction. Now that you 2 are back, I will leave the boats alone.

Looking for a Job, I got credi... | It's throw a double six time again. Forecast is very messy for the next few wind updates. I've dropped 200 places in the last 24 hours !!!!
