Great, Jepsom.
... And I did see the wx for Sweden. Our snow is only just blowing in right now.

Here's another one.

Cook Strait Jacket

There's a low blowing in from the West
And it's putting the fleet to a test
All chatting has ceased
Who's losing the least
is the sailor who read it the best

We're on a Roll to Cook

Salmon 20:18:
Some escape for now
their hurt will come
tomorrow

Mouthansar 20:34:
All the Skippers escaping the low
Are sufficiently aged to know
For every gain
There's similar pain
Once the going is once again slow

76Trombones 20:35:
Explorers feared the giant squid
Brave men trembled before William Kidd
No worries on SOL
Apart from the hole
But I'm struggling to not blame the...

Salmon 20:52:
As some wind does stay around
We still can have some fun
While nothing will be found
at tomorrows Cyclades Run

Salmon 21:03:
My earlier quest got fatally stuck
Adding a 5th line, no such luck
please forgive my abab cheat
I accept my own defeat
At limericks I really suck

New Masterpieces from 76Trombones

I, from my perch near the windward shroud
Watch my sails auto-reef think aloud:
"Here no matter how big the squall
It's no effort at all!
IRL my drive'd be already plowed"


A old salt dips hardtack in his chowder
Dreams of SOL as a place very much louder
A broadside or two
Would help with FlowsToo
Lunch'd smell good with a hint of black powder!

On Feeling Solo in SOL - Wherein a Famous sailor is Named

Trombones made a poem 10:30
Not even the least bit of dirty
Since then chat has died
All tongues are as tied
Is poetry simply too nerdy?


Subsequent edit:
Not Alone - Just Disturbing Concentration

Flaxie 21:37:
Mouthansar, poetry in motion
Across the Southern Ocean
Please, We recognise you as the bard
But you should realise we are sailing hard
To reach the Antipodes

Another Distinguished Skipper Named

Boat 'africa' hails from Croatia
Advanced from 100th to chase ya
Shrewd Skipper is he
As we can all see
He will pass anyone who is lazier

A first attempt as we while away the hours in the Southern Ocean...

Fair winds as east we make our way
Poetry now is all we can say
We'll go to where the wind doth blow...
To where oh where no-one knows.
But soon to settle in some gorgeous bay...

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!

Iceland to the Falklands 2026

Welcome to an all-new route, the first of three Round the 'Old World' of Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. To give each leg of the ROW a bit of length we'll try to hug the coasts as little as possible, so starting in Iceland our first leg of the series, which will also be the final leg of our Quarter 1 Ocean Championships takes us 7200nm to the Falklands, the full length of the Atlantic end to end. To make sure we'll get it done within the month we'll be sailing our Maxi Trimaran.
