	On a Farr Far Away .... There was an old fellow from Denmark Who was searching in vain for a landmark He made his way East The Farr is a beast But alone he's devoid of a benchmark. There's a wedge coming down from the North Who knows what will happen henceforth Next WX might show Which way the winds blow As for now, we foresee a tack port(h) Good luck to my fellow Go4it I doubt he and I will deplore it We chose a route South He followed the Mouth And by now, by Jove, we'll explore it There's another old fellow named Wolff Not a man you'd expect to play golf. Oh no, he's a sailor. Very rarely a failure. In fact, as a sailor he's prof. My ancient aquaintance Go4it Is in favor of North here pre audit Not knowing the weather I am wondering whether The new wind shows gains or a forfeit. --- Last Edited by Mouthansar at 2018-10-05 21:59:11 --- --- Last Edited by Mouthansar at 2018-10-05 22:38:31 --- --- Last Edited by Mouthansar at 2018-10-05 22:49:39 ---

	Thoughts on going home to Scandinavia from Lindisfarne in a Longship Drake at 5 kn: There was an old viking named Lars who sailed his 'Mouthansar' afars "Let's brexit" he cried, "I'm hating this ride. It's as long as the journey to Mars."

	Posted in Percé to Saint Malo Transat 2020 Practice Race race chat: by Chesapeake There once was a Pirate unseen Whose boat was a beautiful green Stopped in for a peake In a race he did sneak While on-call fighting Covid-19

	With poet laureate Mouthansar away, it was good to see some new and some returning SOLers stepping into the rhyming brine. bonknhoot also mused a verse or two. On leaving Newfoundland behind.... Ne pas de probleme! Open the Vin! The dinner est pret, so I'm away. It's drier below, that's where I'll go. A bientot mon brave, have a laugh. Have you ensemble in your router? Oh Smoster, I wouldn't doubt ya. Seat of ze pants, my backside Some say, ah oui but only as a guide En garde, crunched numbers yet will drown you. Again, the wind has dialed down. Again, my polar makes me frown. Perhaps it is the isolation tipple. At eighty-two, I surely see a nipple. Suckle on then, mustn't drown. Somewhere mid-ocean.... And on and on us SOLers race Chatting 'bout this and tha' Today the theme is trace Which disappears, comme ci comme ca And on approaching La Manche.... Hoping to finish by the morn, our fleet All in a bunch, a routed herd We trim and steer trying to beat Our virtual leader, kRemWird. (as Kenza might have rhymed) Clipping along

	Half way round Australia in the 2020 A3 the news came that the First 47.7 would be retired for the last five legs. A eulogy and some anticipation seemed appropriate. Farewell then, trusty Forty-seven, full-stop, 7 Cruise-racer most capacious, like a Seven 47 With opt'mum angles, simple, logical and fair Back to the boathouse you shall go, don't ask, so there Some folk dislike your charms – they say "not Heaven". So, all is change the rest the way, through Torres And then cross Carpenter's Bay and west, oh horrors So next we steer apparently some Class of Forty A craft that cuts through blue as were it butter So don't forget to switch the polar in your router. Clipping along

Migaloo Migration 2020
For many years, SOL has followed the migrations of the Pacific gray whale along the western coast of North America from its northern feeding grounds to its southern breeding grounds off Mexico. Down under in the far opposite corner of the Pacific, Migaloo, the white fella, and his humpback whale kin, exhibit exactly the same (or diametrically opposite) migratory habits between feeding grounds in Antarctic waters and breeding grounds off the coast of Queensland, Australia. We followed Migaloo's springtime track north for the first time in 2019 and this year we repeat the experience, now in 60ft Trimarans. Only 3200 nm. If a whale can do it, so can you!

SoCal 300 2020

The SoCal 300, raced in the waters of California on the US West Coast is usually one of San Diego Yacht Club's most challenging races meaning that we have our work cut out for us to be competitive in our Santa Cruz 52s. This year, due to #COVID19 the real race won't be running which means that some of the real competition may well find their way to race against us in virtuality!
