	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. --- Last Edited by Mouthansar at 2011-03-16 00:45:42 ---

	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"

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
