	I'm behind a corporate firewall and I'm not able to login. The client gets stuck waiting for weather. Its been suggested before that a load balancing proxy will do this but I checked with IT and we don't have one of those. Any other suggestions?, ports?, protocols?, etc that I might be able to persuade IT to change for me? Thanks Murray

	As a makeshift solution you can block http://sailonline.org/site_media/weather/xml/* with AdBlock or something. That will give you a functional client, no wx obviously. As far as I'm aware the wx is the only thing on 'site_media', whatever that may imply.

	Good suggestion Outlaw. It didn't matter what I blocked; http://www.sailonline.org//xml/ http://www.sailonline.org//weather/ http://www.sailonline.org/site_media/* non made any difference but of course http://www.sailonline.org/* killed it completely confirming that the block was in fact working. I'm guessing the weather request coming from flash may actually bypass Ad Block - is it even an http request? Or it may be that its waiting for more than just weather. Thanks for your help Murray

	I'm sorry it didn't work for you. I tested it in Chrome before posting, and Firefox just now to be sure. I should have mentioned that you won't get a mouse pointer, but the result is good enough to steer around islands from office. You must use the exact link given, there is no 'www'

	I can see that exact URL as you say in chrome://net-internals. I'm pasting it into AdBlock/Options/Customize/Manually Edit Your Filters but it won't block the weather. The only block I can get is with www.sailonline.org/* which of course blocks everything. I'm home now (and on Linux). I try again on Monday at work. Thanks for your help Outlaw. Murray

Kapiti Chetwodes Race 2024

For only the second time in SOL history, we have the pleasure of inviting you to the Kapiti Chetwodes Race, held in the Cook Strait region.

We have only a 26 ft Albin 79 yacht at our disposal. All this means that we will have a lot of fun, so fair winds!
