Celebrating One's Own Birthday:

Many a little will make up a mickle
And your friend, Mouthansar, is now double nickle.
Though still going strong
As he has for so long
His visage now ressembles a pickle.

There was an old sailor called Mouth,
Whose verses were usually 'couth',
He laid out a course,
Hit an island--"Off Course",
And had to stay there for a Month.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

I heard of this sailor named Rod
Who raced with the whales in a pod
Tho' his courses were keen
He was struck by the spleen
When the gray whales thought he was a cod.

Fortunately whales eat but krill,
It fills up their bellies---but still
They won't eat a cod,
And so not a Rod,
So for 'that' I will send you a bill!
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Oh, by all means send me the bill
With a man with a license to kill
For because of your chivalry
There'll be Cash On Deliv'ry
And this bard will silence his gill.

A show without a smokemachine -
this could not be, what do you mean?
The light goes on
and off I hope -
good fun I add with stroboscope!

We sing and we dance and we play
If we try we could do it all day,
But we still get the 'hook''
We sing from wrong book,
We only do what we may.
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

After watching yet another chat-bout with the computer between Stoerte and his cat, I couldn't resist!

Ode to Stoerte's Feline

While Stoerte sails well on the seas
His cat is the maestro of keys
He now watches his headings
And his counterpart’s sheddings
They both make it seem such a breeze

Ode To Texel

The Texel race with waves so steep
Broken boats, bruised egos and wandering sheep
We round and round to better our times
But all that’s left are a few lonesome rhymes.

On Meeting Friendly Pirates

I know this brave sailor named Shamrock
Who rounded his marks on a damn clock
He is always ahead
And never in bed
And his rhymes are unlocking my liplock

Current Races:

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Welcome to Sailonline’s partnership with the City of Livorno (Leghorn say the English) in cooperation with the local yacht clubs and the Italian Navy, offering all the online opportunity to race the famous Regata dell’Accademia Navale - 630nm in length. Starting and finishing in Livorno, this year the race takes you the length and breadth of the Tyrrhenian Sea via little Mortorio (Mortoriotto) off Sardinia to Capri and home again to Livorno. This race also counts towards Sailonline’s Magical Mediterranean Series and the SuperBuddy title. Online, you will be sailing a Mini 6.50, to give you a match against several of the real-life entrants, which you will be able to track on-screen!
