	That's a good one, Stoertebaker. I hope Shamrock Pirate will find Crete more pleasant than St. Petersburg.

	Here is one I saved from Up Helly Aa: Rod from Up Helly Aa: Rod 14:32: There was an old sailor from SOL / Who thought that HE knew it all / He DC'd all the courses / But they were for horses / He ended up losing it all. --- Last Edited by Jack Watson at 2011-01-31 01:33:50 ---

	Awesome mouthansar et al! Didnt realize I was being discussed in the chat! Like viking71 - honoured, although he did take out the race so more deserving of it This has started yet another 'SOL artform', I will have to put some thought into one myself! I never had the patience to produce 'track art'. Edit: As gender is not identified on SOL, perhaps using neutral terms unless you know a specific SOLer is a he or she would be good idea? --- Last Edited by Aaron Gage at 2011-02-07 05:05:48 --- I help develop the client interface for the best online ocean racing sim there is... __/)/)_/)__

	I agree, Aaron. Indeed, I thought that was what I did. Please alert me, if I made a mistake on gender. And to whomever concerned: My sincere apologies.

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!
