2011-04-07 19:45:40 - St. Malo Long Practice race
This is a long shot, but would any body consider a "Practice racers special"?

We would agree on a start time and race together.
What say you all?

Hiya

I was suggesting this in the Santa Monica chat earlier on.... I was thinking maybe we could start tomorrow at 1800utc. I understand that the first serious "best run" is probably not until 12th April by which time the practice race group would have finished.

I think it would be fun!

Shall we say tomorrow (Saturday) @1800utc then??!!

:-D

18:00z it is.:)

Asume start precedure is to join at 18:00 and set course as soon as possible.

I think ppl should check their computer clocks against UTC prior to joining.
http://www.k3dn.org/java/java%20clock/clock.htm is one place.

You can register in the St Malo at any time.. just don't set any commands and sit at the start point!

Once the race is open, I will put a comment in chat and in SailTalk chat and we can see who will join us!

If its just us then.. a matchrace it shall be!!!

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
