Really rough sim weather featured during this weeks North Sea Thursday Regatta. We raced Trudeau Patchogue II’s this week, and those that held online, had a great time. Joshua had a tough time recording DNFs for both races, as he was experiencing the same problems I was, losing connection to SL on every other sim crossing. Kurt actually had it slightly better, only crashing out on the last race. With that said, Asami, Gail, and Burton had no troubles and showcased some pretty close racing in both races. Today was Asami’s first time taking first place and line honors in a race, well done!
The issues Joshua and I experienced where due to a failing router on the route both of our ISPs use to get to SL, here in the US. This foreshadowed the much more severe DDoS of the DNS providers in the US, the following day, the 21st.
