The team is a bit slow in catching up.
For now thursdays from 22:00 CET seam the best option.
a monday night from 22:00 CET may work from 11 th of february onward. I have no definit confirmation from 3 or more teammembers for
a specific date yet.

All in all today would have been the best option so far. I will put them all on alert for today 30.01.2006 22:00 CET. That's a 6-hour notice So without guarantee we can try for a random session.

Possibilties may improve as responses arive.

I'm dragged up a Mountain in the middle of nowhere, at least a daytrip away from the nearest thing that has a proccessor in it. :)

I hope to hear from the team what thurdays and mondays 22:00 CET in February we can float a 3 boat team at the least. Next week we are stuck at 2. I don't have a solid confirmation for 3 boats for today yet. I wouldnt vouch for the vsk servers either yet, as i understood Florent, they are still migrating, seperating the websites from the gameservers (plans to be finished coming weekend)

Here we go.

looks like we can float 3 boats or more on the following days next week

20 th of february 22:00 GMT (23:00 CET)
23 rd of february 22:00 GMT (23:00 CET)
27 th of february 22:00 GMT (23:00 CET)

Take your pick.

Team Europe will be hosting. We have not decided on courses yet, but you can expect anything from something like bowtie [--in sim mode with serious randomised wind disturbances, --lot's of ferries, --crude oil carriers, --submarines and any other assistance we can get :) (did i see lowflying airliners on a course somewhere? ) at F0, F1 and F2 ] to Box F4, F3, F5.

Pls confirm as soon as possible, so I can nail our team.

Let's go for Thursday the 2nd of March.
I understand we have to get out on the water earlier
since you all seem to go to bed right before we get ready :)


@ bystanders & spectators

Close inspection of the racing instructions will lead you to the conclusion that it is allowed for a team to recruite temporary members (4 weeks). If needed Team Europe will do so when somebody is free to do so at the time. So anybody free to do so and interested in joining the team that won 3 out of 4 challenges against the present top team Extra Dry, drop me a mail :) , PM or messenge per MSN or ICQ (see vtc skipperslist) It also helps to be present at public nights :)

It looks like, that the challenge between extra Dry and Europe is coming up on monday!
It´s hard for us to get 3 skippers on monday, so it´s no problem for us to wait.

Theo what´s up with upcoming thursday (09.03)

Good luck for the races
cheers :beer: :beer:
