Guest Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hi everyone all of the updates for the coastal will be in here and will be updated whenever we get a bit of information. Todays plan for crew.org is the following..... We have people taking photos of the start at devonport wharf and i will be up at north head. While were doing our thing Ogre will be doing the texts updates untill I get home a bit after 11:30. When I get home Ill be doing some text updates as well as looking at how the race is progressing compared to Mark Ms predications. I will also be throwing in some updates about the virtual race being run by sailonline.org and how the kiwis are going, so if you would like to race and are stuck at your computer then I recommend this. Watch out for the photos from AC and sundreamer if they can get of the ground as there were some great shots last year. I hope you enjoy the updates and make a comment or two about the boat that your following and how the race is going Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 From StephenC on North head. Wind - was a solid 25 maybe more in the last squall, just starting to ease a little. Consistent puffs across the start line, boats just starting to appear. One ship heading in to watch out for. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Stephen says that freighter slowed down and could possibly be in the start area at start time. I'll see what I can find out. Wind still building Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Looking like a bit of a fast race eh? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 They are talking up the chance of a new record, always optimistic to do that before it happens, but definitely a possibility. Our airborne photographer has lifted off. Link to post Share on other sites
codieb 0 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 That car ship looks like it is going to be right in the middle of the start at 10, who's great planning was that. Link to post Share on other sites
Ed 143 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 AIS has transfuture 7 doing 12 kts into the harbour at the moment. The dolphin on the side does not make up for how ugly that thing looks Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Yep, Stephen thinks it will be right in the wrong place at the wrong time. Photographer reports a bumpy liftoff. Link to post Share on other sites
SMU's Crew 4 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Is it just me or have the trackers on CC website not updated since breakfast? Looking forward to following the race virtually today, thanks to everyone who contributes everywhere, especially those up in the air! Rather be sailing than flying today, that's for sure. Bumpy? I bet!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Ed 143 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 looking at the track on AIS she is comming in, no sign of a slow down anywhere, Shouldn't take too long to clear through though Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Should you be concerned the 'aircraft cam' and the 'Ariel photographer' do seem to be a kilometre apart The aircraft is going well, must be loving the reaching conditions Link to post Share on other sites
Grinna 2 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Is it just me or have the trackers on CC website not updated since breakfast? Same for me too. Link to post Share on other sites
