don't know whether to even bother with this leg. I'm in Germany for a few days next week and there does seem to be significant opportunity
for it all to go horribly wrong on this leg!

If you not going away till next week you should be ok.
from what I can tell it will be 1-2 days to the bottom of the island then 3-4 days to the next set of islands.
worth a shot even if you do end up scraping the leg.
as you say I can see alot of problems with this leg.

There's only about 3 miles between 1st and 30,000th! Overnight I guess people will spread out a bit - those who don't sleep will have an
advantage - the rest of us will fall behind!

Oh FFS!!! They have announced a restart.... so because of a few idiots who didn't read the rules we all suffer!!! THAT IS CRAP! They should only
be penalised, not all of us.

Problem was - it didn't mention it in the rules - though I would have thought that going North was a much longer way round... ah well....

Yeha the problem was all to do with the buoy.
if like me you thought of going north to catch some wind on the way back down then saw the buoy you would change your mind like me.
the whole idea of going north was allowed by the rules just the problem of the buoy which all of a sudden disapeared which ment the guys/gals that
went north then had the advantage.
