2011-07-23 15:51:38 - Norway 22/7/11
I'm sure by now we have all heard the terrible news from Norway. It's hard to imagine something like that happening anywhere, least of all such a peace loving nation.

When I fell asleep the news was reporting 8 people dead, by the time I awoke just a few hours later I was shocked to discover that figure had risen to 95 confirmed dead between the two incidents.

As a new member of SOL I don't know whether it is too off topic or within the ethos of this great gathering of like minded people from around the world, but among our members are many Norwegians, great characters and sailors all, and I can only begin to imagine the shock with which they are watching these events unfold in their own media.

Perish the thought that they have friends or family involved in this tragedy.

So if the Sol gods agree it's appropriate, a small message of solidarity, from us, to all who proudly fly the Norwegian flag, here and beyond.

Our thoughts are with you.

Rich

I have no words to describe my sadness to what happened in Norway.
My heart is with all my Norwegian friends.

Current Races:

Andaman Islands PYOC 2025


The Andaman Islands are an archipelago, made up of 200 islands, in the northeastern Indian Ocean. Together with the Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. These waters will be the theater of our next 240nm race in the ARCH 2025 series. Which one you choose depends only on you, i.e. your Elan 410 sport will leave the Andaman Islands on the starboard or port side.

Isla San Lorenzo RTI 2025


SOL’s SRC (Sailonline Race Committee) has taken us to some unusual places in the past, and San Lorenzo Island off Lima’s Callao peninsula is definitely another one. Housing a naval base and a penal institution, no vessel is allowed within 300m of its shores. Also, with no sources of potable water, it is a matter of debate whether it is an island at all, and not just a large rock. So, whatever you do, don’t be tempted to BBQ; you’ll be arrested and go thirsty! We return for the first time since 2018 to race thirteen potentially unlucky miles in J-30s; have fun!!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
