Hi.
I have a proposal here. It's a course around Comoros islands.

I enjoyed creating it and comments are welcome.

garganey - thank you so much!!! The other evening I was watching a programme on television about Madagascar and the incredible creatures there and it occurred to me that SOL didn't have a race in that area at all so... your course is exactly what we need!!

I will set it up in SOL over the next wee while (no longer than 24hrs) so you can then have a look at it and we can, if need be, fine tune it :-)

Good morning garganey

The Comoros Cruise is now set up, with a new weathersystem and map for E Africa, so... to see how it looks just log in as the sol boat:

Username: sol
Password: sol

and then click here

Let me know if it looks good so we can then archive it before it is needed.

Do you have a preference for when it is raced?

@SP Trying to find information and it looks like the area now is between seasons and that the Kusi season starts in April but i dont know about windspeeds.

@RC
If you can move waypoint 2 a little bit north the course will be perfect.
I have no prefered race date you can find a gap in the calender for me.

garganey - Nzwani N now moved :-)

Please double check (if you wish).

I will be archiving your race tomorrow before the tow-back for the Malaren race start, so you have 12hrs or so to check!!

Thank you again for picking a fascinating destination!

:-)

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!

Camel or Balloon - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
