	Actually, The Apocalypse did occur, The Rapture happened, But I got left behind, With all the rest of us. --:for entry into the 'Deep Philosophical Thoughts Section'. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	The fingers are drumming, Maybe some strumming. For the feel of a mouse, Like a wheelhouse, ("Send Command", up 'n' coming !) 'Tis fine on the shore, We still yearn for more. But if it were known, Few need be shown - How long, to the start of leg 4? Irish counties have nicknames, hence my sol name (The Frying Irishman)

	Oh, me father was the keeper of the Eddystone Light' 'E slept with a mermaid one fine night, The fruits of the un-i-on, they were three, A porpoise and a pelican and then came me. Yo-Ho-Ho, let the wind blow free, Oh, for a life on the roving sea. Dredged up from a long ago Navy memory of singing around the Wardroom piano in a drunken state.... If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	This was by 76Trombones in the chat-I'm transferring it here in case he's too shy to do it himself.. http://www.vrbo.com/383020 Whoops, that didn't work as intended!!! Try again:- In SOL racing the goal is to pilot your boat 'round each mark (watch that islet). So look out up ahead, and aim for the red. (in beta, you'd go for the violet) Thats better! --- Last Edited by Rod at 2012-03-21 15:53:09 --- --- Last Edited by Rod at 2012-03-21 15:56:50 --- --- Last Edited by Rod at 2012-03-21 16:03:20 --- If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	Inspired by Cheeks' commitment to SOL: On accusation they're fanatic, Solers might draw a nice schematic. That precedes divorce? Nay, our nat'ral recourse Iis being so dang charismatic. With an aside: "We're cultured, we can steer, we more or less know which way the wind blows... we're Irresistible!"

	Routing does not equal superpowers. Before your trust in NOAA sours... The boats in the Northeast though way out front:at least They lead only by 24 hours... Author: 76Trombones by his editor If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	When travelling you might look for wifi that's free and not too slow thus whereby: You'd sail wake a foaming! So long's you're not roaming... In which case the the bill'd make your eyes cry. Ditto to above.. We potentially have a new 21st Century Shakespeare, here!!! If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Haida Gwaii 2024

We will end the second quarter of the ARCH competition with a 390nm race around the Haida Gwaii islands (literally "Islands of the Haida people"), also known as the Queen Charlotte Islands. This is an archipelago located on the northern Pacific coast of Canada. In SOL, we last raced on this route in 2012 and few people remember what happened there. Prepare your Riptide 50 well, it's going to be a lot of fun.

Newport Bermuda Race 2024

The 636-mile biennial Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet Race and the Sydney to Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. Founded in 1906, this 53rd running of the Bermuda Race can again also be participated in online.
Entries are invited for one of the four divisions:
Double-Handed Division:
Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600
St. David's Lighthouse Division:
Santa Cruz 52
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division:
Judel Vrolijk 62
Finisterre Division:
Riptide 50
Details for each yacht are available in the ‘Particulars’ links below. As in real life, you can only sail one boat in one division, so choose your virtual yacht carefully, and because of the unusual (for SOL) 4-division nature of the event, please note results will not count towards any Sailonline rankings.
