	Carib Rum Run Fledgling pirates on the sea Chasing Rum and Victory The fleets have split The tactics hidden Beware advice from pirates unbidden Across Carib we plunder and pillage And lest ye rum, there be no spillage!! Best to ye all! SP

	Blow ye winds in the morning, Blow ye winds heigh-ho! Across the Carib Blue, Our course is sometimes true. We seek out island run, 'tis worth a tidy sum. But Captain bold, to foc'sle bum, All hoist a dram or two. Blow ye winds in the morning. Blow ye winds heigh-ho! Blow ye winds in the morning, we're bound for Mexico! (newsartist)

	On a tuesday in April we rose. Where we'll end up nobody knows. For doldrums or thyphoons our fine SOL balloons go only where the wind blows. --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2013-04-08 13:03:03 ---

	It makes me glad to see this thread is still alive. Sailonline became a place of sadness for me when we lost AGage. 'Tis time to go on as you do, 76Trombones. Thank you.

	Thank you for checking in. You can see that it's slowed down... I've just barely restarted, and ballooning has turned out not to be very good for that, as Aaron's brain would have been going a mile a minute this race. I've been mentally compiling a list of the things he would have found interesting / explored / solved / shared, but my strength was always the supply side of the process. We made a good team, as he had a gift for getting things done. Sigh... Potential. That doesn't rhyme. Sorry. 76

	I know this doesn't rhyme either, but:- What is the smallest man-made object with 1. The greatest number of (English) names? 2. The greatest number of different functions? 3. The greatest number of methods for making it? --- Last Edited by Rod at 2013-04-30 00:13:11 --- If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	Absolutely nobody wishes to answer my little quiz? You've already seen one of its more obscure functions! If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	It is such a little thing, after all..... If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
