	That's a good one, Stoertebaker. I hope Shamrock Pirate will find Crete more pleasant than St. Petersburg.

	Here is one I saved from Up Helly Aa: Rod from Up Helly Aa: Rod 14:32: There was an old sailor from SOL / Who thought that HE knew it all / He DC'd all the courses / But they were for horses / He ended up losing it all. --- Last Edited by Jack Watson at 2011-01-31 01:33:50 ---

	Awesome mouthansar et al! Didnt realize I was being discussed in the chat! Like viking71 - honoured, although he did take out the race so more deserving of it This has started yet another 'SOL artform', I will have to put some thought into one myself! I never had the patience to produce 'track art'. Edit: As gender is not identified on SOL, perhaps using neutral terms unless you know a specific SOLer is a he or she would be good idea? --- Last Edited by Aaron Gage at 2011-02-07 05:05:48 --- I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	I agree, Aaron. Indeed, I thought that was what I did. Please alert me, if I made a mistake on gender. And to whomever concerned: My sincere apologies.

Sinbad Surveys Arabia 2023
Sinbad Al-SOL’er invites you to race him on seven epic voyages (5 to count), not entirely in line with those of his illustrious ancestor Al-Sail’or described in the 1001 Nights, and totally out of line with those voiced over by Brad Pitt in Sinbad - The Seven Seas, commencing with a survey of Arabia, from the island kingdom of Bahrain all the way to Aqaba, there where, in 1917, after a desperate forced march, TE Lawrence, Sherif Nasir and Auda abu Tayi routed the Ottomans. Instead of camels through the sand, though, we’ll voyage the c 3000nm across the sea on IMOCA 60’s.
