Re: Poetry Saved for Posterity

Slightly awestruck by sailj29's epic on racing from BA to Rio, his fellow poets were silent for a while, but ice and islands got a few keys clicking once again...

wsguerin
Bonk might bail
And leave his tight group.
Will his instinct
Confirm the route?
Hippo and Happy, Vida and more,
Baffin bound,
Or Hudson Bay chore?

bonknhoot
Baffin or bust
Strait Bellot is cursed
But, who knows, Jones Sound
Might be found
Be an option profound
Where I’ll then be bound
In for a penny, in for a pound

Satori
If you think that flat is the earth,
Then you should have stayed in your berth
Those who think the earth is round,
Are going north Baffin Island bound!

bonknhoot
As the leaders pass Wales
Engaging in pleasant exchange
It is high time we admit
Baffin Sound was not it
A whole day it cost
So on we went north
But to little avail
In short, a big fail.

A warning to our Old Poets Society critics.
(in the form of a 'Tipperary')

SOL's poets for posterity
Write rhymes with great sincerity,
And though their muse may seem obtuse
With purpose simply to amuse,
Mockers will be dealt with…
with great severity!

About horthes furthest northest.

A horth is a horth of course off course
Off course, up north, oh dear, that's worse
These ditties have to rhyme you see
At least so said old Hank Hain-ey
And Mr Ed spoke too and said "Agree-gh"

The Beagle in the Azores 2024

And west the Beagle went one final time to round the Cape of Good Hope on May 31 1836. Ashore, Darwin met up with the Astronomer Royal, Herschel, who just happened to be in South Africa at the same time mapping the southern skies. After sounding out his many ideas on evolution and extinction with Herschel, the Beagle now sailed north, stopping briefly in St Helena, Ascension and Brazil, and the Cape Verdes again, to reach the Azores on September 19, 1836. Fitzroy and Darwin at this stage were in a hurry to get back to Britain, but online in 2024 we will stay a little longer to explore this final remote archipelago in our virtual Tall Ship Class B Beagle, 630nm round and about the islands, minding as always in these waters not to bump into any large cetaceans!

Lake Victoria Sprint 2024

Welcome to Lake Victoria, home of the final sprint of Q4 and 2024. This Saturday we will sail our Lasers from Kaazi to Entebbe - 18 odd English miles in a cooling breeze, however slight it might be. Friends there will host an end of year BBQ of Luwombo, Muchomo, Matoke, and other delicacies. We will all sleep well after that. Now that the year is done relax and take in some sights like the Botanical Gardens and National Zoo. Enjoy the holidays and rest, 2025 sprints are a month away.

Christmas(W) to Christmas(E) Island 2024

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, so prepare your 90ft well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2024 challenge of a reversed race, starting in the Indian Ocean, racing to the Christmas Island in the Pacific! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2024. Please have fun! Fair winds!
