2009-03-06 13:44:50 - weather southly 70º?
My great circle to the Hoorn touches 70.5º south - the SOL-weather seems to end at 70º. In google earth I can see that the northern tip of the ice edge is around 72º south. Can you please add another 1 or 2 degrees weather? Otherwise I have to choice a longer way than needed.

Thanks

Stu

I have the same problem but i think it wouldn't be fair to the northern ones to change the edge of the virtual sea now.

Jakob: That could be considered sad for you and all the other northern europeans who, whilst experienced at seeing the Northern Lights and the sun not setting in the Artic Circle, may feel disappointed at not seeing the Southern Lights and the Antartic Circle, not to mention all the penquins, unique to the Southern Ocean.

Just pondering you understand !! LOL.

Cheers
If it breaks, it's not strong enough!

@K3: true. I didn't want to take advantage :-)
But in fact the shortest way of everybody would have been through the ice ;-)

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!
