That was interesting, I saw André going East, so I went West. West is shorter, but the winds meant I would have to tack a lot. But at the weather update, bad surprise, the winds were weaker than predicted. Now I see I'll have to go through another weather update before finishing. Smiticks will be well ahead of me

Well done André!

Meanwhile, it teaches me to play with the double programming.

Nothing at all wrong with it. The only real nit is the boat moving a bit slower than the panel indicates, it's such an obvious thing to fix that I wonder why they haven't done it. But that's not all that important. Maybe they've even done it so on purpose to mislead those using routers (why try to mislead them? I don't know, but it's evident that they try to, like modifying the NOAA grib files to annoy zyGrib & VRTool users. I can't see the point myself).

Shouldn't this Challenge be named Wilhelmshaven - Rostock instead of Emden - Rostock? The actual departure point on the RG map is about 80km east of Emden.
