	You could attempt to skip a leg, and give your brain a rest, Catch up on sleep,and chores and stuff, your spouse will be impressed! But you're not fooling anyone, you'll feel most incomplete. Leg 3 is but a few more weeks. (then lather, rinse, repeat)

	ScandaVerse From Stockholm we sail to St. Pete Though most of the course is a beat With WIN in the lead At his usual speed Besting him would be quite a feat!

	From the back of the pack I throw rhymes They are better than most of my times I see many a transom And agree they’re quite handsome But seeing none would suit me just fine

	I agree with your stated desire, I also wish to look higher, The sight of your RRRRs, Doesn't please me by far, But your bow would give me the 'fire'. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	Devil Commands Spending a night on DCs Is like trusting your luck to the seas You hope and you pray When, come light of day, Your hull doesn’t rest amidst trees! Can't help it.. I'm on a roll SP

	As somewhat of a repeat offender, an interim solution I'll tender: (although they're quite handsome) to avoid seeing transom next race we'll choose a double-ender. --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2012-01-22 03:22:22 ---

	A two-ended boat such as Noah's Would solve the view problem, although as there may be one hitch, (we'd still know which end's which) SOL should find a polar for some proas.

	76Trombones 04:45: Sometimes the old Smo saves the new Smo,,, sometimes the old Smo goes for a skate and a sauna and the new Smo has a few too many... such is Smo/SOL.... Only tomorrow Smo knows, and he's not saying.

	There is a young Finn from the 'Sinki, Who can double his name, I am thinki, In the Chat he is single, In the forum, there's more'v'um, Which causes us all to go blinki. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	Like restless oceans I cannot sleep 'tho I lay in my bunk and count some sheep For my mind wanders far across the deep Through wind and rain to the storm tossed fleet And there the lonely vigil I keep Pacing the deck on my aching feet And I trust unto God that he will keep Me safely from that bbq beach!

Current Races:

Port Huron to Chicago 2024

At the end of the third quarter of the ARCH series, we invite you to participate in a nice regatta with RC44 on the Great Lakes in the USA. We sail 460nm from Port Huron across the lakes to Chicago.
Throw away unnecessary ballast from your boats. Fresh water has less buoyancy, which means greater draft and greater resistance to movement, which means lower speeds, etc.😊

The Beagle in Tahiti 2024

Leaving the Galapagos behind, the course was west again, and by November 15th the Beagle reached Tahiti. Like Gauguin, sixty years later, Darwin found the natives, recently Christianized, pleasant and intelligent, but unlike Gauguin, this did not persuade him or his captain, Fitzroy, to tarry long. Let’s have a sail-around in 2024 anyway; 640nm, as ever in the Class B Tall Ship HMS Beagle.

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!
