Any Sailors here?
I know this is not the board of sailors but this is a cool game. Volvo around the world. You get a boat and it runs in real time. will go for weeks.
If you add a boat they put you in mid fleet. The race is on its way to India now. You just jump in once in a while and reset the course depending on wind, current and sail angle then let it go.
http://www.volvooceanracegame.org/
If anyone jumps on, throw your boat name on here and you can track each other on that site. Something to do at work when i get a lul.

OReely as OReely. I tried Oh Really but it was already taken. Currently due south of Mad. limping along at 9.9 knots in 28732nd place. Yee Haw. Make that 4.1. Ithink lavela is blanketing the rest of us. Now if y'all will fall off a little to the north I'll be able to break free.
