       Today's taken an awful lot of time with constant course
       adjustments to deal with this front that's just come through.  I
       suspect Em's work commitments will be making the sailing life a
       tad impossible at the mo. But at least you're still heading in
       the right direction unlike others I've seen. Looks like you'll
       be well out of that hole in a few hours.

       I see JB's launched a challenge ...
       Q: for you all, there's a grey boat with a path/track laid out
       in arrows ... is this the "Ghost" you talked about in your JV
       thread?  Is this the best finisher to date?
       I'd assumed your "Ghost" was your track from your first attempt.
       I can't see anything in VR "help" (clearly a misnomer) ... any
       clues anyone?
       edit:  When I click on the grey boat it shows 137.5NM. When I
       search for the boat (name) nada. 137.5NM looks to be the
       distance separating our boats as opposed to DTF ... so what
       would be the point of that? It's different weather so not a
       valid comparison. The only comparison that would be useful is
       DTF.

       Carl, not doing the record attempt, but it sounds the same as
       the JV.  the ghost you see is the best to date and numbers are
       the distance to/from that boat.  Meaningless if it's lateral
       distance not DTF as you say.  If you have a second attempt then
       your previous best time will also show up as a ghost - so you'll
       have two ghosts.

       Thanks B9, ... it was sort of where my guessing was but my
       practical/logical mind said "WTF, this can't be possible! Who on
       earth would even think this was useful?" when in all likelihood
       they've left in a completely different weather window? etc etc
       These VR guys are muppets, clearly have never been out on the
       open water in their lives. Bunch of software devs completely out
       of touch with reality! ... need I go on? ... because I could!
