Posted by Mullionman Posts 15 Registered at 2018-07-05 08:20:33	2019-06-12 08:00:30 - Closure of Puffin browser
	I understand that the Puffin browser is closing from 1 July 2019. Is there another browser available on IOS that can use Flash to enable us to use SOL after 1 July? Dave (Mullionman)

	Oh good grief... I wasn't aware of that... let's hope between us all we find a workable alternative!

	Have found this informative webpage that mentions another browser: how to get Flash on iPhone etc Puffin on Android is continuing - it is being locked out by Apple that has it leaving iOS, apparently.

	I suppose I will have to use Photon for now. But Adobe say that Flash will finish in 2020. In that case SOL needs to change to a new format soon, because otherwise there will be no SOL.

	Yes. The loss of support for Flash in Chrome would make it more difficult for SOLers to access Sailonline, so the matter is "in hand"

	Oh no!! I love Puffin. This is not good news!

	Yip... seen the Chrome message as well... SOL will be more challenging in future for sure unless some of the brainy folk can come up with some magic. I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

Round Greenland 2024

Just as Skip Novak was embarking for Kamchatsky, Amyr Klink also quietly slipped his Antarctica moorings and by now Paratii 2 has reached Reykjavik, where he invites you to join him on Leg 5 of our High Latitudes Series, a full 3650nm circumnavigation of Greenland. The course is clockwise round, so down the North Atlantic to Cape Farewell, then up the Davis Strait into Baffin Bay and on into the Arctic Ocean proper, where, hopefully and certainly virtually, Paratii 2’s special ice-breaker features will get us thorough the summer ice out onto the Greenland Sea and back to Reykjavik. Stay warm!

San Francisco to Ushuaia 2024

After a superlong RTW-leg3 (27 days), we have had a month to recover, and maintain our boat, in order to continue our around the world race. Leg 4, even longer than the previous, takes us from California to the world's southernmost city Ushuaia. No waypoints, even "the Ditch" is an option, but maybe a bit too much of a treat. With 6300 nm to go, the estimated duration of this race 29 days. This course is also the August edition of our ocean race championship.
