In Honor of Nuptials for UC

There once was a SOLer, UC
Who decided on matrimony
His boat and his life
He now shares with his wife
May they all have the best there can be!

Best Wishes UC!!

A Follow Up by Dinty:

dinty 22:21: (March 10th)
There was a young bride named Holly
Who too late discovered her folly
For when it was time
He said," my name is UC
And I am a SOL'er
And nothing we say will console her

On Sailing Low Wind TWA's Around the World

There are times when I think I am hot:
When I think I'm ahead but I'm not.
I'm sailing in gherkins
A Ford or a Perkins
Would really be helping a lot.

Decisions ... Decisions

For a whole week I pondered: "What's best?"
Whether I should go East or stay West
I reached a conclusion
Perhaps a delusion:
"I can't win in the wake of the rest!"


Late Night/Early Morning Blues

I am struggling to move on ahead
When I really should be in my bed
But SOL is addiction
It's not only fiction:
It's better to lead than be led.

Mouth is our Poet Laureate
No one is better at word-e-at
But if he wants to apply
To the Crown or to I
He's gonna hafta do more-o'-it

If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

It must be inherited: When my Dad was in school, he was off sick when the class studied Byron's "Childe Harold", so to be prepared, he memorized it all----and on any and all occasions for the rest of his life, when he felt it was called for, he would start out---"Childe Harold to the dark tower came," and continued until we shut him up!
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

The problem with SOLer's
Is the inadequate polars
Twenty knots in five knot winds
Would please all of their greedy minds
And put them ahead of 'all-of-us'
If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Mouth #1 to thund'rous applause
No sleep for poets, no time to pause
A fast path he'll steer
And try not to hear
Ever so faintly: the theme song from "Jaws"

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Tasmania to Kamchatka 2026

Welcome to yet another all-new route. Tasmania to Kamchatka, part of our Ocean Championship and also the third leg of the ROW (Round the Old World) series. Be aware of the obstacles on the way, likely to split the fleet. It's like X:mas to X:mas, crossing the same waters, navigating the same archipelagos. This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031
