	You need to put 2 addresses into your HOSTS file which on Windows systems is located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and on Linux in the etc\ directory. These addresses are: IP address host 62.181.230.173 race.sailport.se 62.181.230.171 www.sailonline.org There is a catch, if ever Sailonline is assigned new IP addresses, your browser won't be able to find them.

	Still nothing, I give up. I am no IT guru so back to VR for me. Sorry, but waste of a week.

	One more thing: whenever you've made changes to your hosts file, you'll need to restart your browser to make the change take effect. Philip /ab Schakel

	Squall: The incorrect zone file from was pushed with a "time to live" of 24 hours, so all name servers should be re-updated about 20:00 UTC with the correct information. http://www.iis.se/en/2009/10/13/felaktig-dns-information/

	I am still unable to get it working after 16 hours of not seeing my boat. As far as I am concerned the race should be cancelled as it is no longer a fair race.

	I had access at home this am but at work now and I can't get into the race. Is there a problem again or is just something at my end? I'm in the USA and on a Mac (so the PC suggestion was not helpful). dgg

I'm in the USA and on a Mac (so the PC suggestion was not helpful). There's a hosts file on OS X as well, in the /private/etc directory. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27291 for details.

	1) It can take up to 24 hours (counted from approx 20.30 UTC yesterday) for the issues to resolve, depending on your ISP. Please see previous link for official information. 2) This is an error outside of our control which affected all .se domains. Please see previous link for official information. 3) We will not cancel Poor Man's Race. These things happen and over time the advantages/disadvantages will even out. 4) If you edit your hosts file, I recommend you remove the information when the issues are resolved since it can cause you trouble in the future if we move our servers.

Halifax to Hooper Bay 2024

And now it’s Autumn in the Arctic, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. Having receded all summer, ice is starting to return to the numerous straits and bays of Canada’s North West Passage. High time then to set off on our last leg of the High Latitudes Series from Halifax in Nova Scotia to Alaska’s Hooper Bay. It’s 3850nm and we need to hurry, so we’ll take the Pelagic 77!
