If you do not start the leg, finish the leg or are disqualified you will score the number of entries in the leg plus 1.
That can't be right?

Otherwise all of us apart from Reel Confusion are wasting our time?

I know where you got it from, but are we all going to get scored 26001?

We are all definitely wasting our time (including reel), but so far it has been an enjoyable waste of time.

It has been a blast. I'm sure some of you are or have been sailors. I have not. I've read and picked up things here and there, but this gives a bit of feel to it for me. Almost like actual practical applications. That's why I officially declare that I have not wasted my time. I've gained a considerable education about sailing even though I've had my azz firmly planted in front of the computer.

Guys, lets me honest.. is anyone talking home the volvo?? probably not. As I see it i am racing everyone here and its fun so far. There is no waste of time as were scoring ourselves.

AND... if you can throw out 3 legs, and this is the second... were all still in it with still another crappy leg to toss away.

Consider this your warm up and enjoy. Figure out what the heck to do and when the next leg starts, were all going to be on the same level ground.

Shoot... Im like a crackhead on this thing... Think ive checked my 2 boats 8 times today..... Dang low winds!

We are all bunched up like corks bobbing in the water. Who has the drinks?
