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

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.
