	Blow ye winds in the morning, Blow ye winds heigh-ho! Across the Carib Blue, Our course is sometimes true. We seek out island run, 'tis worth a tidy sum. But Captain bold, to foc'sle bum, All hoist a dram or two. Blow ye winds in the morning. Blow ye winds heigh-ho! Blow ye winds in the morning, we're bound for Mexico! (newsartist)

	On a tuesday in April we rose. Where we'll end up nobody knows. For doldrums or thyphoons our fine SOL balloons go only where the wind blows. --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2013-04-08 13:03:03 ---

	It makes me glad to see this thread is still alive. Sailonline became a place of sadness for me when we lost AGage. 'Tis time to go on as you do, 76Trombones. Thank you.

	Thank you for checking in. You can see that it's slowed down... I've just barely restarted, and ballooning has turned out not to be very good for that, as Aaron's brain would have been going a mile a minute this race. I've been mentally compiling a list of the things he would have found interesting / explored / solved / shared, but my strength was always the supply side of the process. We made a good team, as he had a gift for getting things done. Sigh... Potential. That doesn't rhyme. Sorry. 76

	I know this doesn't rhyme either, but:- What is the smallest man-made object with 1. The greatest number of (English) names? 2. The greatest number of different functions? 3. The greatest number of methods for making it? --- Last Edited by Rod at 2013-04-30 00:13:11 --- If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	Absolutely nobody wishes to answer my little quiz? You've already seen one of its more obscure functions! If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	It is such a little thing, after all..... If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Sinbad Braves the Bay of Bengal 2023
“Sinbad, you sorry sailor, why have you not told me of this great sea, this giant bay, stretching hundreds of thousands of qasbah east of Al-Hindi to fabled lands where tea and rice and rubber is abundant?” and Sinbad replied “Ahh, umm, shall I go have a look. May I take the Judel Vrolijk 62 again, it’s going to be a long voyage, perhaps a million and one half qasbah (c 3000nm)? I’ll start in Chittagong and follow the coast to the southern tip of the Hindus’ land, round Serendip, head east into the vastness of the seas, and if I’m lucky (no pun intended, oh Mighty One) I shall find land again and then head north and see where I end up”. “Fair winds, Sinbad”, said the Sultan.

Maryland to Alaska 2023
Welcome to this September edition of 2023 OCCH. This route was first sailed in 2020. At the time it was inspired by Matt Rutherford's single-handed Red Dot Expedition around the Americas in 2012, SOLer Renegade proposing a half-around from Maryland over the North into the Pacific and back through the Panama Canal, in 5 legs, 5 years later. Leg 2 across the North West Passage proved to be particularly challenging and so to create a proper Ocean Race, SRC combined Leg 2 with Leg 1 to give you a race of at least 4000nm from Maryland to Alaska, now to be sailed in our magnificent Archer 78.
