	A long time ago there was a sort-of convention established with respect to week races that are not buddied or mirroring real ones, namely that they start at the UTC equivalent of 1800/1900 LOCAL so that those in that region/country are able to start their local race in their evening. I think it might be the decent thing to do to keep to this here? Aaron's family are aware of our plans so, who knows, may participate in the series in some way --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-07-24 17:46:13 ---

	That would be a rare honour indeed... I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

Thanks WW, but it becomes intuitive after 46 years sailing around this part of the world --- Last Edited by Tyger at 2012-07-29 17:38:27 --- “We may have arrived on different ships, but we are all in the same boat now!” Martin Luther King Jr.

	Tyger - do you have the start/finish coords for the races yet? We don't have to go the full GoogleEarth creation route, providing we have start/finish/waypoint coords and in this case an explanation of what each leg represents (that's pretty much already done in this thread). What would also be useful is a note of the bounds for each race. The racing zone is a box with min/max lats/lons and it would be good to know how big the boxes should be for each race. At present we have only a couple of weathersystems for Australian races, so once we have the individual legs here, I can see what else needs to be set up. If it would help to have a quick Skype session to run through this, then just holler! --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2012-07-28 11:58:17 ---

	RC - Been a bit under the weather with the flu (winter here) and sinuses have been running like a tap. Clearing up now. I plan to finish off Leg1, Adelaide to Melbourne details tomorrow (Sunday) and will included bounding box co-ords. Details of the other legs will follow quickly. I used Skype in the early days when sound quality was poor. Because I make lots of international calls, the telco package I have now includes calls to UK & USA at 2 cents per minute ($0.02) - dirt cheap & high quality. If you email your phone number, I'll call so we can co-ordinate race details. “We may have arrived on different ships, but we are all in the same boat now!” Martin Luther King Jr.

The Beagle in Mauritius 2024

And west, forever following the sun, the Beagle went once more to next explore Australia, but since online we already regularly race the length and breadth of that wee dinkum continent’s coasts, we will delay launching our Tall Ship Class B until the Beagle reaches Mauritius, which she did on 29 April 1836. Darwin explored the island and its coral reefs extensively. We’ll better that by sailing some 450nm to Reunion and back, for a better appreciation of this remote archipelago, inhabited mostly by descendants of French and English colonists and Indian convicts and political prisoners.
