You can't sail over the islands. The game smooths out the path and when it does a lot of the paths go over land even though the boat was way away from land.

BTW, Iam starting to look at the statistic and I realized that there could be two ways of winning it all which could be up for discussion.

1st way) Average of your finishes in the THT group. IE- you get a 20, 8, and a 16 you have an 14.5 average finish..

2nd way) Average of your places on the race. IE - 21000, 13000, 800 put you in -13,666th. Then we just rank internally.

Thing is, doe to the Huge fluctuation in the overall numbers, someone can do horrible on a few races, 80,000+ and still just be in 40th place here.

Just thinking outloud. So far ive added our total overall finishing spot and divided but probably more fair is each person in the group getting a finishing number and then divide. But maybe we should have a dual title in the end... Top guy will probably be the same but it may help those deeper in the pack..

Okay then... 4 more months to think about that..ha ha

There is a third method. Do our group = 14.5, then rank internally from the whole thang. Add them up and divide by 2.

I think we all are just getting used to the game, and the rest of the legs should be tight. How about the best three of the rest of the legs? This might brings more people out of the woodwork and join our group....Over all winner can have what's left of the 3 hot Snappers in China............

I agree with throwout races. But only 3 that would count i think would be too few. Im thinking 5 or at least 4... at this point I believe there are still 6 legs left .

OK, I'm all tied up.

I've got a cab arranged to take whoever wants to go up to the Tsingtao brewery for a tour and then a session in the tasting room!

How? You have some special sail that will propel you at warp speed?

I was at the dock when I posted. It looks like you guys see me on a 10 or so minute delay.

Guess thats to stop boats shadowing other boats real time!
