In Honor of Nuptials for UC

There once was a SOLer, UC
Who decided on matrimony
His boat and his life
He now shares with his wife
May they all have the best there can be!

Best Wishes UC!!

A Follow Up by Dinty:

dinty 22:21: (March 10th)
There was a young bride named Holly
Who too late discovered her folly
For when it was time
He said," my name is UC
And I am a SOL'er
And nothing we say will console her

On Sailing Low Wind TWA's Around the World

There are times when I think I am hot:
When I think I'm ahead but I'm not.
I'm sailing in gherkins
A Ford or a Perkins
Would really be helping a lot.

Decisions ... Decisions

For a whole week I pondered: "What's best?"
Whether I should go East or stay West
I reached a conclusion
Perhaps a delusion:
"I can't win in the wake of the rest!"


Late Night/Early Morning Blues

I am struggling to move on ahead
When I really should be in my bed
But SOL is addiction
It's not only fiction:
It's better to lead than be led.

Mouth is our Poet Laureate
No one is better at word-e-at
But if he wants to apply
To the Crown or to I
He's gonna hafta do more-o'-it

If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

It must be inherited: When my Dad was in school, he was off sick when the class studied Byron's "Childe Harold", so to be prepared, he memorized it all----and on any and all occasions for the rest of his life, when he felt it was called for, he would start out---"Childe Harold to the dark tower came," and continued until we shut him up!
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

The problem with SOLer's
Is the inadequate polars
Twenty knots in five knot winds
Would please all of their greedy minds
And put them ahead of 'all-of-us'
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Mouth #1 to thund'rous applause
No sleep for poets, no time to pause
A fast path he'll steer
And try not to hear
Ever so faintly: the theme song from "Jaws"

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.
