It is a bit difficult to see with alle the lines, but it appears to me as if you first passed Grays Reef to the west and north and then headed back passing south of Grays Reef and then continued your normal navigation thinking you had passed correctly.

What you should have done is go back exactly the way you came, passing north and west of Grays reef again before passing south of it and resuming navigation.

HTH,
Philip

Hi ostra - I have sent a mail to the SOLgods ... hope they can sort this out for you!

Are the waypoints not showing as rounded? Have you refreshed your browser and emptied the browser cache?? Both those actions often clear up one's track.

As an afterthought: 76 trumpets posted some illustrations about correct rounding procedures that may be helpful.

Find them here:

The rounding of Grays Reef Light is incorrect, after you passed on the wrong side you need to go back the same way and actually round the wp.

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Guam to Ouvéa


The third race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us southeastward now down the Pacific, from Guam’s Apra Harbour at 13.5 degrees North, back across the Equator to the glorious New Caledonian resort island of Ouvéa, on the edge of the Tropic of Capricorn at 20.5 degrees South. It’s 2400nm, and there’s more than a few other islands in the way, so mind where you go in your Ocean 50s. Race #1981
