So it’s been quite some while since I last did a post of any kind as I was away from Aust. sailing and sampling the hospitality in the British Virgin Islands thanks to my brother (thanks Martin), and then on to New York City, and finally London and Guilford (thanks to Lou and David) before making it back home.

Incidentally just before leaving for this trip the Volvo Ocean Race set off – and if you’d like to navigate your own 70 footer around the world and compete then get on to http://www.volvooceanracegame.org/play.php and sign up?

I’m just getting in to Cochin with 51 miles to go. Look out for “WhyKnot”, and Martin my brother is “EverRest”

See you on Leg 3?

***UPDATE***

Shortly after announcing that they now had over 100,000 players it seems that they have found the breaking point? At the moment the link within www.volvooceanracegame.org the game site that hosts the Flash (?) module for the game comes from www.VirtualRegatta.com, and this is now being reported as Oops! this link appears broken

And from this what I also learnt as this appears to have taken down the same kind of game play for the Vendee Globe as well, AND Google Chrome is quite neat for having a “right-click” menu selection of “Inspect element”

So when called it does seem to have a heck of a lot of detail to my untrained eyes?

****UPDATE****

Now back on line……

1156 miles to go
