	Hi, I have a rather odd problem occurring in that about 11am UTC yesterday, my access to SOL ceased. I could not play any of the three races I was sailing, Fastnet challenge or legs 1 or 2 of the Bosphore-bretagne. I tried using both of the computers on my home network and I just could not access the site, even after I cleared all of my history. I use Firefox generally. I tried using iE, but no better. Always got the message that the site could not be accessed. I turned machines off and on. no joy. I could access the rest of the web and my Emails normally. I came to my office today and all works normally (different IP). at home at lunchtime - still the same situation. I am perplexed. If you have any ideas, could you also send them to my Email -simon@simondo.net, as I won't be able to see them as I can only access the site and hence the forum via work. Much appreciated and I enjoy the SOL hugely. (I must admit I did wonder if the RORC had somehow launched a denial of service attack and shut the SOL servers down) Regards Simondo

	Hi Simondo, I can't realy help you with this, it seems you did all the obvious stuff already. I suspect something in the internet connection. Are you back up again? Or do you still have problems? I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

	Thank you yes. I got up again sometime in the middle of last night. My ISP is also puzzled, but i think the problem must have been at their level as it came back on withiout me changing any further settings. Fingers crossed.. Thanks for your input. Simondo

	Could also be a DNS (Domain Name System) problem. All operating systems carry a cache of domain names that have been visited. Sometimes on calling up a domain an error occurs and usually you get a "could not access server at so and so domain". This can stick in your computer's DNS cache for several hours up to a day or so. If this is the case, you can flush the DNS cache. Just google "flush dns" for instructions on how to do this for your operating system.

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
