2019-04-13 20:08:27 - Joao - psail
Dear SOL Managers and SYC Members,
what happened these days has saddened us all.
Since I'm in SOL, the SOLers that are sailing eternal seas are many and I think it's time to organize a special championship in their memory.
I imagine two annual races to be played on the first day of spring (March 20 northern hemisphere and September 22 southern hemisphere).
Why the first day of spring?
Simply because spring is the icon of rebirth and I'm sure that our friends have been reborn in a better world.
"Springs Memory Championship"?
In my mind it doesn't have to be a sad event but a sailing party to sail happily with old friends.
Thanks for your attention.
How would Joao wrote, "Viva SOL" and "Viva Solers"

"Big Hug Championship"
I think it's the right name for the memory championship.

May I suggest that these be big races, the Northern race from Greece to the Baltic, while the Southern race to be to circum-navigate Australia and New Zealand. This way, all of our 'departed' Solers will be included.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!

Camel or Balloon - Khartoum to N'Djamena


As there is a lull in the calendar, your PRO has decided to risk an experiment – a balloon race over land, using a workaround to eliminate the recognition of water/land transitions. If it fails, the server may crash, and we abandon PDQ, hopefully after leg 7 of the ABS race to Suez has been decided, and before the start of the 1st OCC of Q4. Camel or Balloon – c 1000 nm from a field on the north bank of the Blue Nile at Khartoum to a field on the north bank of the Chari River at N'Djamena!
