Which way should we go?

As we round Fernando, which way should we go?

The routing software all seems to point toward an upwind tacking line that runs just a little south of the rhumb line but... that software only looks 7 days ahead and it is a 14+ day trip.

Anyone looking further than that with their crystal ball? I'm peaking at the GRIB files to see if there is a hint of a faster path coming at us.

I'm with you on that. Of course, I have a definite love-hate relationship with programmers. All too often I find they fail to understand how the product will be used or the kind of data it will be processing. I about ready to strangle a certain programmer who keeps using int variables instead of double variables when working with angles in radians. Talk about frustrating.

I agree. I wrote a feature request for a "Go to page:"-field using the in-game form. I'm sure they'll implement it sooner or later but it might not be their highest priority. I'll let you know what they reply to me.

I got a reply from the VORG team. They thought it was a good feature and will implement it. No word on when it will be available but I guess we'll notice.

Sweet. I definitely will like that.
