	All is OK with both races on my computer. A couple of things you might like to try. 1. Empty browser cache completely and even run a registry/disc cleaner for good measure. 2. Check that you are running the latest version of Flashplayer. These are things that have helped in the past on the couple of occasions I had a problem. Sometimes, too, I have read in chat that ISPs can run very slowly and as a result time-out before the SOL download completes. Hope this helps?

	Hi Bigstorm, have you got another browser on the coputer you can test? Most of the time cleaning the temporary files of the browser helps. Another thing you can try is log in as sol. boatname sol password sol, this is a comunity boat that can help force new weather. I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

	Hi, Well I'm in now on another computor at work. When I get home I will check how things go and try your suggestion. Problem last night could not even get the web site to come up to try anything. It must be me because I went aground and everyone else went on their marry way. I never had this problem before.Plus all the other web sites where ok.

	This experience must be very frustrating. I know I would be pulling my hair out, as the saying goes, if it were happening to me. I have one minor suggestion to add to the above list of general remedies. Perhaps it is something you have already tried but did not mention as whatever procedures you went through did not make any difference so far. Delete all cookies in your browser file that are from the Sailonline site. I actually fixed a problem with the site in the past, although I don't recall the nature of the symptoms now, but I was trying everything to get back to a clean slate, including dumping my browser altogether & re-installing it. I cannot offer an explanation as to why this could be the culprit except that if it does the trick it is worth a shot. None so blind

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!
