Re: RIP - In Memoriam - Rod

Board » In memoriam

After an absence from SOL I was saddened to hear that Rod had passed away. He was one of a small group of Canucks and Friends that corresponded and he will be missed. Knowing that I lived within driving range, he did his darnedest to get me into radio controlled boat racing. May he RIP.

Again. I am at my wits end! Yesterday everything was working fine. Today no connection between SOL and QT. Failed to connect to TCP Host 192.168.4.26 Port 5010. I have been at it for 8 hrs. My very experienced techie for over an hr. Turned off all the firewalls. Downloaded latest version of Java 10/20/2020 and Qt 5.9-12. Brainaid Proxy is a security exception in both Java and my security software. Proxy opens and starts. Multiple ports tried. Qt settings checked. See above - once before it stopped during the Carib Race, no solution and then it started up again on its own!! I may be too frustrated to do the PIC without Qt! I have tired myself out to be able to handle 20+ hrs of SOMP's in what looks like a very tricky race of continuous tacking.

Tx Vibex for your advice on WX Route updates vs creating a new Route. Unfortunately I did not see it until after the Carib Rum Run Race. You will see from my Report on that Race that I found out for myself during the Race. I might have done better than 9th if I had seen your advice earlier!!

If you read my Carib Rum Run 2020 Report you will see how I am making early use of Qt. Can I encourage a discussion lead by those who know better on Qt Settings and how they impact results - Boat Settings/Tacks & Gybes, Route Settings-Best Performance vs Best Accuracy, Edit Route - Wind/Polar Corrections.

As a result of not being given an opportunity to accept the Java risk I now cannot login on the Proxy.

NMEA connection lost during the Carib Rum Race. Message is "Failed to connect to TCP Host 192.168.4.26 using Port 5010.Tried changing ports. Opened and closed QtVLM, BrainAid, Closed and opened Proxy. Checked my security software BitDefender. Finally shut everything down rebooted my computer. Reopened everything. Now when proxy is opened Java quickly jumps past risk approval and does not open it for me to approve. Proxy cannot be started. So the problem seems to be Java related. Any ideas out there? I would hate to not be able to continue the Carib Race. I do have a Qt Route to the Bacardi Pick-Up revised after 9/14 UTC 2223 WX with the DC's uploaded.

Satori is a relative newcomer to SOL and I am documenting what I am learning from generous SOLers. Attached are my introductory instruction notes with screen prints in PDF format for “Editing Route With New Weather Report and Uploading Resulting New Delayed Commands to SOL”.

Halifax to Hooper Bay 2024

And now it’s Autumn in the Arctic, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. Having receded all summer, ice is starting to return to the numerous straits and bays of Canada’s North West Passage. High time then to set off on our last leg of the High Latitudes Series from Halifax in Nova Scotia to Alaska’s Hooper Bay. It’s 3850nm and we need to hurry, so we’ll take the Pelagic 77!
