I hope there is enough interest to keep this going as a weekly event. I'll warn you though: you will never catch my light sloop (at least, not until they fix windcatcher!)
The route wasn't too bad - the only person that got lost was the person who joined late, in the game (and never actually saw the map.)
It might be nice if the route for next week's race is made simple enough to be explained in chat.
Some race ideas:
1) Start from Padres, do five figure eights around outcast/padres; going clockwise around outcast; finish race at Cuba; cargo must be full when done.
2) Start from French or Spanish island. Sail around Driftwood, then Devil's Anvil, then end at Driftwood. Teams don't have to be exactly equal, but should approximately be an even match.
3) Death Omen cup: Start at Cuba, go left (West) around Perdida, pass North side of Cangrejos, go on East side of Porc/Avaricia, East of Kingshead, South of Padres, Outcast and Tormenta, land at Cuba.
4) Behemoth Barrel: Start at Padres, East of Kingshead, North of Cangrejos, West of Perdida, 1st point off map West of where Cuba used to be (official is parked at edge of map,) South of Padres, land at Port Royal.
5) Wild World: Start at Devil's Anvil, sail to Cutthroat, Outcast, Tormenta, Driftwood, Perdida, Rumrunner's, Cangrejos, end at Devil's Anvil. Land and launch from each, no cargo.
