	You could attempt to skip a leg, and give your brain a rest, Catch up on sleep,and chores and stuff, your spouse will be impressed! But you're not fooling anyone, you'll feel most incomplete. Leg 3 is but a few more weeks. (then lather, rinse, repeat)

	ScandaVerse From Stockholm we sail to St. Pete Though most of the course is a beat With WIN in the lead At his usual speed Besting him would be quite a feat!

	From the back of the pack I throw rhymes They are better than most of my times I see many a transom And agree they’re quite handsome But seeing none would suit me just fine

	I agree with your stated desire, I also wish to look higher, The sight of your RRRRs, Doesn't please me by far, But your bow would give me the 'fire'. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	Devil Commands Spending a night on DCs Is like trusting your luck to the seas You hope and you pray When, come light of day, Your hull doesn’t rest amidst trees! Can't help it.. I'm on a roll SP

	As somewhat of a repeat offender, an interim solution I'll tender: (although they're quite handsome) to avoid seeing transom next race we'll choose a double-ender. --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2012-01-22 03:22:22 ---

	A two-ended boat such as Noah's Would solve the view problem, although as there may be one hitch, (we'd still know which end's which) SOL should find a polar for some proas.

	76Trombones 04:45: Sometimes the old Smo saves the new Smo,,, sometimes the old Smo goes for a skate and a sauna and the new Smo has a few too many... such is Smo/SOL.... Only tomorrow Smo knows, and he's not saying.

	There is a young Finn from the 'Sinki, Who can double his name, I am thinki, In the Chat he is single, In the forum, there's more'v'um, Which causes us all to go blinki. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	Like restless oceans I cannot sleep 'tho I lay in my bunk and count some sheep For my mind wanders far across the deep Through wind and rain to the storm tossed fleet And there the lonely vigil I keep Pacing the deck on my aching feet And I trust unto God that he will keep Me safely from that bbq beach!

Sailonline’s 15th Birthday Balloon Race
Sailonline offers a huge variety of boats to sail in. One of the more unusual ones has got to be SOL's Balloon, which was polarized by past SOLmaster 76Trombones. Notably, the SOL Balloon will actually ‘sail’ in other directions other than straight downwind, although it will not 'sail' over land or beyond a 'beam reach'. Like in 2013 and 2018, we will be taking the Balloon across the Atlantic from St. John's and 'land' it in the sea off the Cliffs of Moher.
