I challenge everyone to a non-synchronous Painted Ocean race! The route is from Newport, Rhode Island to Bermuda (any island) starting at 7:15am on January 2nd (this is the default start time).

Instructions: Start a new World game and teleport yourself to the entrance of Narragansett Bay. Then get your ship to Bermuda as quick as you can. Remember to bring a warm hat.

Rules and limitations:

Use of the map is allowed.

Use of the button to show wind forecast is NOT allowed.

Use of the 'Watch Officer' to auto-adjust sails is not allowed, unless you are new to the game and want to use this feature as a handicap. (It is enabled by default.)

Travel Acceleration is allowed.

Use of shift-click for small course corrections (primarily during travel acceleration) is allowed.

Use of shift-click to tack or wear ship is allowed when winds are less than 10 kts, but incurs a one-hour time penalty (use the time skip button).

Use of physics acceleration to occasionally speed up course adjustments is allowed because the race is long-distance.

To post your results, screenshot the breadcrumb trail of noon observations on the map, as well as the date.

Here are my results below. Time to beat is January 5th at 11:35pm.

Sounds like a challenge. I’ll give it try. 😀
