As may of us start packing up the boat for winter, here is something that will help us get though the long winter and sailing withdrawls.

This year there is a media expert on every crew/boat, so with satalite uplinks and new technology the daily updates may be worth checking out.

Just started yesterday. Never too late to try it. I had great fun last year.
A little more complicated to sign up, and the interface isn't quite as complex as last year. Has some "upgrades" you can buy to make it more competitive, but I am doing the "No money sailors" group with just the basic sails and tools. Might add another boat later with some upgrades, if I find I have more time for it than I think I do.
I think I am sailing in it now. Will have to go back and check in a few hours.
Any one else in it?

I am... missed the start then ran aground... got some pro sails and way points now so hoping I'm good for a bit. I can't keep on eye on it sometimes.
Boats name is bhacurly
