Sailing away...

Fri, 03/07/2009 - 12:56pm — jethro

I am in the process of booking myself a holiday – and not just any ordinary holiday!

Most people will have heard of Brindabella, the most famous Sydney to Hobart yacht race winner. Well the man who is managing her this year is also in charge of Kioni. I am booking myself a ten day sail from Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays down to the Gold Coast as part of the transfer process of moving the boat up and down the coast. I am super excited. My mate Sharpie has set me up and I’m super excited about the opportunity. Check out this YouTube channel for some videos of Kioni in action.

I eventually went and downloaded the full standalone version. In the meantime i came across this post by Susan Bradley about having important updates not installed stopping SP2 from being available. I went and checked but that wasnt my problem.

When i tried to actually run the SP2 download I got this message:

I went into the control panel to Regional and Language Settings
