	I have setup an automatically generated notice of race. This is generated from race info sent to the client and is a textual description of what you see on the map. Is this comprehendible or does the text need improvement? Here is the output for race #141 VolvoSuursaariRace: Notice of Race: VolvoSuursaariRace Start Time: May 08 2009 16:00:00 UTC Start Position: 60N07.8000 024E52.5000 Marks: BRG is the bearing from ship to mark at scoring position. 1: vs2 60N02.1960 024E53.8038 BRG 266 - pass East of the WP 2: vs3 59N56.9380 024E54.0000 BRG 041 - pass South of the WP 3: vs4 59N58.9998 025E35.9268 BRG 347 - pass South of the WP 4: vs5 60N10.5060 026E38.8470 BRG 183 - pass North of the WP 5: Hogland N 60N05.7000 026E57.5400 BRG 230 - pass East of the WP 6: Hogland S 60N01.2000 027E00.1800 BRG 327 - pass South of the WP 7: vs5 60N10.5060 026E38.8470 BRG 190 - pass North of the WP 8: vs4 59N58.9998 025E35.9268 BRG 347 - pass South of the WP 9: vs3 59N56.9380 024E54.0000 BRG 041 - pass South of the WP 10: vs2 60N02.1960 024E53.8038 BRG 266 - pass East of the WP Finish Line: Line between marks A and B at positions A: 60N07.7769 024E52.1028 B: 60N07.8231 024E52.8972 http://sol.brainaid.de/notice/notice_141.txt _/)_/)_/) The sea is lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to sail before I sleep, And miles to sail before I sleep.

	Looks good Eddie, The layout on screen is a bit off at the moment at least on my screen. The notice is a bit wide for the webpage. Other then that it certainly a good way to provide some basic course info. I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

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!
