	Celebrating One's Own Birthday: Many a little will make up a mickle And your friend, Mouthansar, is now double nickle. Though still going strong As he has for so long His visage now ressembles a pickle.

	There was an old sailor called Mouth, Whose verses were usually 'couth', He laid out a course, Hit an island--"Off Course", And had to stay there for a Month. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	I heard of this sailor named Rod Who raced with the whales in a pod Tho' his courses were keen He was struck by the spleen When the gray whales thought he was a cod.

	Fortunately whales eat but krill, It fills up their bellies---but still They won't eat a cod, And so not a Rod, So for 'that' I will send you a bill! If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	Oh, by all means send me the bill With a man with a license to kill For because of your chivalry There'll be Cash On Deliv'ry And this bard will silence his gill.

	A show without a smokemachine - this could not be, what do you mean? The light goes on and off I hope - good fun I add with stroboscope! (smilie with raised hair..) --- Last Edited by stoertebaeker at 2011-05-14 20:06:41 --- <<DO NOT USE FOR NAVIGATION>>

	We sing and we dance and we play If we try we could do it all day, But we still get the 'hook'' We sing from wrong book, We only do what we may. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	After watching yet another chat-bout with the computer between Stoerte and his cat, I couldn't resist! Ode to Stoerte's Feline While Stoerte sails well on the seas His cat is the maestro of keys He now watches his headings And his counterpart’s sheddings They both make it seem such a breeze

	Ode To Texel The Texel race with waves so steep Broken boats, bruised egos and wandering sheep We round and round to better our times But all that’s left are a few lonesome rhymes.

	On Meeting Friendly Pirates I know this brave sailor named Shamrock Who rounded his marks on a damn clock He is always ahead And never in bed And his rhymes are unlocking my liplock

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.

GO TO RACE

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!
