	As many/most of you will be aware, Sailonline's server provider was subjected to a protracted DDOS (denial of service) attack from late Saturday, 16 November, until a little while ago this evening (17 November). For most of this time, the Sailonline server and the Antwerp-Belfast Race were running normally, but just before 1400utc today, access to the game was lost. Many are now racing again but clearly there has been an outage that will have affected strategy and, even now, is preventing the wx files from updating. We have three options - please vote on which you consider to be the fairest outcome here: Please note that a restart is not possible due to other calendar commitments. Obviously the course can be re-run at some other point in the future. THE POLL WILL CLOSE AT 0800UTC ON MONDAY 18 NOVEMBER ______________ --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2013-11-17 18:48:12 ---

	Personally, I am just going to continue north up the North Sea coast and visit the places of my youth, drop in to Newcastle and Durham, Alnwick and Dunstanborough, see North Sunderland and Beadnell, Bamborough and Berwick all again at my leisure with the help of Google Earth--------- If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	Rod - I like that idea... maybe you should/could give us a commentary of what you find and how different it looks from your youth (if it does)!

	Rod That sounds awesome - please post here with pics and any commentary that you have. I would love to learn something about the east coast of the British Isles....

	For what it is worth my start dc seems to have decided to take a leave of absence so I'm only starting now. I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

	At 8am the poll was clearly in favour of continuing racing so - this is what will happen. Thank you to all who participated in the vote.

Kamchatsky to Tromsoe 2024

Just before the light failed entirely in Antarctica, Skip Novak managed to get his Pelagic 77 out of the ice and north up the Pacific to Kamchatsky. The sun is shining (24/7) and not a penguin to be seen, and Skip believes the Norh East Passage is ice-free (sufficiently) to attempt it, so all aboard for a c 4250nm voyage from east to west across the top of Siberia, Russia and Norway to Tromsoe!
