For Team ITA_2011 - Relentlessly Chased and So Wanting Stealth Mode for their Boat

The anguish of being a winner:
You cannot take time out for dinner
If you're well ahead
You can't go to bed
You're just bound to get thinner and thinner

The attraction of going to stealth
Is to help preserve some of your health
Attacked through the night
From all sides a fight
They all want to take part in your wealth

A Poet's Apologetic Eulogy

There's just one thing that needs to be said
As this poetic needle I thread
When I'm dust and bone
They'll write on my stone
He was silent - except when ahead.

I really wasn't a head. It just felt good there for a wail

Another great one:

76Trombones 19:45: -
The wind in the South is speed "howl"
Yet we still discuss y as a vowel
Funny symbols on keys
Little hats on our 'E's
Might it be time to throw in the towel?

Some context might be required for those... I logged on today following the most chat activity in days, talking about different keyboard layouts of all things. Then Rod and mjm got into Inuit syllabics, font sets and language = #2

Am always impressed by the quality of English as 2-3-8th language rhyming on SOL. That got me thinking about my Turkish skills (nothing doing). The Caribbean Creoles are great, and I'll claim that my grammar is just a feature of the dialect... The Rhyme with SOL was too good to pass up:


Odinatè bato, anpil plezi
Pa twòp volan, se konsa pou lwazi
A new challenge on SOL
Rhyme in Haitian Creole
Panse ke petèt mwen tou dousman "crazy"

By Rod:

Rod 00:18: This applies more to NZ than here...

The winds they blow so slowly
I wish they did so more-ly
The boat she wallow
It's hard to swallow
My tummy it feels so sore-ly

On Procrastination

Rod and 76Trombones

Rod 02:09:
A man who has time for limerinks
Isn't working as hard as his boss thinks
When he has time for SOL
He isn't working at all
He's just up for jokes and hi-jinks.


76Trombones 02:22:
On the list of things to avoid:
Having a boss of skills quite devoid.
His employee is lazy
They're increasingly crazy
It's not easy being self-employed.

...
Some sailors cruise the Caribbean
While others enjoy the Aegean
Rock snow and ice,
It's this man's paradise
South Georgia's the place I'd be See'n

...
Were we sailing these waters for real
You'd discover my Achille's heel
Forget about wins
I'd go visit penguins
And the South Georgian elephant seal

...
Sambing found the Island of Beauchene :-(
A desolate albatross heaven
Looked like plenty of room
It's the fault of the zoom
SOL needs vigilance 24-7

But not quite alone‘
Cos we’re all off to Barcelona

Brisbane to Keppel Tropical Yacht Race 2025


When the winter weather turns cool in southern Australia sailors head up to the warmer waters of The Great Barrier Reef and the big winter regattas at Hamilton Island, Airlie Beach and Magnetic Island.

Haugesund to Reykjavik 2025


In late April 2016 Draken Harald Hårfagre, the worlds largest viking ship built in modern times, left her home port in Haugesund, Norway and sailed off for a challenging voyage across the North Atlantic Ocean.
The aim was to explore and relive one of the most mythological sea voyages – the first transatlantic crossing, and the Viking discovery of the New World, more than a thousand years ago. History tells us about the Viking explorer, Leif Eriksson, who discovered America over 500 years before Christopher Columbus. The expedition was all about exploring the world, just like the Vikings did.
Sailonline is racing the 1000 nm first leg, from Haugesund, Norway, to Reykjavik, Iceland in our Farr 400. Let us sail in the wake of history on this epic adventure!

Africa by Sea - Swakopmund to Maputo 2025


Time again to continue our exploration of Africa by Sea, which now takes us around the tip of the continent at Cape Agulhas and up the coast of South Africa to Mozambique’s marvellous Maputo, where we should find good anchorage in the bend of the Rio Espirito Santo (Umbuluzi) once we’ve cleared the 60m high Maputo - Katembe suspension bridge. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be glad to be sailing our comfortable and sturdy Xp-55, as we will certainly experience more headwinds!
