What does the green circle flashing around another boat mean?

That virtual skipper game is freakin addicting!

Kingair - where did you get that screen shot from on the site?

When you log back in that pops up.

Don't feel bad Fast, I was planning on doing the same thing. Already had the spinnaker on deck, now I am having to squeeze back to starboard and with the upcoming wind shift things are not looking good. Especially, since I will be out of touch all day tomorrow!
I was on my way to do the same thing. Im just glad I was the one that noticed the bouy.... And you guys are all lucky im a nice guy and posted it... (j/K)

What is up with the sail repair kits. Has anyone had to use one? The winds are terrible by the buoy. The leaders are all floundering.

Here are some terms since we are blow boaters for the moment

kingair,

The sail kit is for the repair of a sail if you blow one out. If you overpower the boat, just like in the real world, things break. In this race it's sails. You have to buy credits to get a sail repair kit.

The money, or at least part of it goes to the Save The Albatross fund. I did a quick search of the fund last night and didn't see anything about it that would be considered bad, but I just skimmed a couple of pages. Since the recent thread about the Sea Shepherd organization revealed some kooks I will reserve my judgement of this group (and my money) for a while.
