	I would have thought last place would be Rear Admiral!

	So this is life... I bring two new fellows to SOL and all my SOL friends have to tell them about me is my Scow title...

	In future when you address me you need to stand at attention... neatly and a salute will be required as when addressing any officer of a fleet... --- Last Edited by WetWing at 2012-06-01 13:30:15 --- --- Last Edited by WetWing at 2012-06-01 13:33:07 --- I like to talk a lot... sometimes I even make sense, mostly not...

	What-what-what??? A flee(t)ing 'ossifer' with an angry bar-maid chasing him..? With what is it that you wish to be saluted? An upraised finger...? Or perhaps worse?....two upraised fingers? --- Last Edited by Rod at 2013-05-01 00:40:09 --- If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	On WW's request, after checking my references, "Commander" has been added between Lieutenant and Captain. For some reason, this rating had been swept under the carpet... Corrected !

	Not wishing to complicate matters needlessly, I take pen in hand to communicate with Your Lordship the apparent lack of a most important rank in the Navel (the spelling is deliberate) Hierarchy, one that forms the boundary between the "Un-promotable" and the "future leaders of our maritime endeavors", namely that of "LIEUTENANT-COMMANDER". It is a rank that provides for the smooth transition from lowly, and unwashed, Lieutenant to the exalted rank of Commander-"Of whom great things are expected". I beg to remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, Landsman--late Sub-Lieutenant, of Her Majesty's Royal Canadian Navy (Reserve)--Rod. --- Last Edited by Rod at 2012-07-27 00:57:30 --- If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	Rod, as I checked my reference yesterday and as I wished to stick (more or less) to the noapoleonic wars ratings, i can tell you for sure that there was no Lieutnant-Commander at that time. But, as we already added Rear Admiral (after Scots) because the idea was good. And because I added Vice admiral because one must be vicious to reach that rate.... why not add Lieutnant-Commander because you ask ? Your reasons for asking this rating being very... reasonable... Lieutnant-Commander added !

Round Greenland 2024

Just as Skip Novak was embarking for Kamchatsky, Amyr Klink also quietly slipped his Antarctica moorings and by now Paratii 2 has reached Reykjavik, where he invites you to join him on Leg 5 of our High Latitudes Series, a full 3650nm circumnavigation of Greenland. The course is clockwise round, so down the North Atlantic to Cape Farewell, then up the Davis Strait into Baffin Bay and on into the Arctic Ocean proper, where, hopefully and certainly virtually, Paratii 2’s special ice-breaker features will get us thorough the summer ice out onto the Greenland Sea and back to Reykjavik. Stay warm!

San Francisco to Ushuaia 2024

After a superlong RTW-leg3 (27 days), we have had a month to recover, and maintain our boat, in order to continue our around the world race. Leg 4, even longer than the previous, takes us from California to the world's southernmost city Ushuaia. No waypoints, even "the Ditch" is an option, but maybe a bit too much of a treat. With 6300 nm to go, the estimated duration of this race 29 days. This course is also the August edition of our ocean race championship.
