Nah as soon as I'm past the point I'm packing it in.

I have a new AR I need to sight in in the AM.

You got this by a RCH but you might want to think about coming up about 15 degrees to miss the rock right off your bow.

ReefRaft, you had me by about 8 miles until you dived into that cove. I was going high to try and shave a few miles off your lead.

I feel your pain, I went aground twice at the mouth of the channel, and I had the same trouble trying to work out an angle to get off. Took over a half hour each time. But I finally realized that it is the same as running aground in real life. You need to go back the way you came!

I was running in the top 200 then, and lost about 10,000 places!

every stinking wind change had a lot more north in it than I planned for, it just killed me especially the first one which put back to 210000 place.

Finally off When I left the house I was just trying to miss the Islands....as I turned on the computer I said I am either aground or in real good shape. Thats the last time I pick my brother up at the airport.

Shadco/CapnGadget, you're going to have to take another hike to the north to make that point!

Luigs didn't go over the point he went around like you are supposed to. Those tracks aren't a reliable indicator.

He was to leeward of Menz most of the time he just waited to tack til later and then ran aground too.

Correct, the game smoothes out the tracks between boat heading changes.

I'm in.

The actual capture point is 30 miles even though the circle seems to suggest 25. So Shadco, that second point doesn't even come into play.

That's why I stayed so low.
