2015-04-16 13:15:16 - Hauraki Timed Race
Hi All
I am at a bit of a loss to understand why PR is not showing as finished on the Timed race as as far as I can see I have rounded the last mark and although I made a real hash of it after that I am certain it should have rounded and therefore I don't need to unwind myself in the way you do if you go the wrong side of a mark. Can you enlighten me as I cannot work it out!!! (I was in meetings hence the awful mess I made after the mark!!!) Many thanks BR Tim (Pocket Rocket)

The best clue is the DTG listed at 10.44 nm which is how far it is from your current position to the North Head mark & back to the Finish line. Somehow on one of your beachings near that location you "un-rounded" that mark, perhaps because your next jump on land went past but your boat was held at the last Valid position.

Please Confirm the message displayed by North Head as either Rounded or Leave to Starboard ?

The server thought that you had not rounded the last mark (it should have said "leave to starboard" in the client when you tried to finish). I manually updated your rounding, you should be able to finish within half an hour (as soon as the finish line says "cross line to finish"). If you have a need to finish earlier because you want to start a new run, mail us at admin@.

As to why this happened, bbq'ing at the same time as unrounding the mark could very well have caused this. I would need to check the code. If this is indeed the case, we can fix it so that this never happens again.

The Second beaching is the culprit as it occurs just where the Bearing to Mark Azimuth lies.

HI all
That's great and many thanks for the update...I wondered if it was maybe I was very close on the many returns backwards and forwards to the rounding line.....what a mess I made ....impromptu and SOL don't mix. Thanks so much for your help and I am just running back to the line now. Fingers crossed it finishes. I let you know if there is a prob. Thanks again for such a quick update. PR

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
