	Fake Gibraltar Start Then we did a fake start off Gibraltar The results, I just couldn’t alter The leaders, it seems Stayed with Traffic Schemes A plan, IRL, that won’t falter. SP

	On Indomitability There was a smart sailor named T Who was sevens and sixes on me He tracked with precision And made an incision In everything I want to be.

	Ode To The "T" The push south to Capetown Has been quite a ride With windholes and wizards There’s nowhere to hide The Trombone, as they say, Leads the Big Parade in. He has what it takes To chalk up a huge win!! Well done! SP

	On Leaving Jeroen Adrift off Africa Don't look back, it's a terrible sight To sit tight amid winds that have died Ten hours of lull For Jeroen to mull It really just doesn't seem right.

	Excitement this leg's not been lacking, With big splits and plenty of tacking. So after many a league, Please watch out for Rodrigues, Lest you be into the nice reef whacking.

	The Easterly route looks auspicious While the fleet hit some weather pernicious. Even with obfuscation, Some triangulation Ruled out a finish in Mauritius.

	There was a sweet lass near Mauritius, Who thought sailing was "Really Delicious!" But just to the north, There were pirates, of course, And they were really malicious. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	The Holiday Voyage ‘Twas the night before Christmas And all through the fleet The halyards were quiet, no slack in the sheet. Most of the SOLers are now north of Mauritius Sending each other warm holiday wishes. While others prepare for the annual run From Sydney to Hobart, t’will be days worth of fun! When across every ocean, an old sailor did fly. The captains and crews all looked to the sky. From past the horizon his vessel did reach With nary a worry of pirate or beach. And manning the helm was St. Nick himself With a crew that consisted of reindeer and elf. He spied the vast fleet as he made a low pass And greetings he shouted to each lad and lass. “May your seas remain calm and your winds all stay fair, Be safe in your voyage and of others, take care. The hearts of all sailors are open and warm. You’re there for your crewmates, whatever the storm.” Then he dropped off some presents to all under sail (He thought that was quicker than sending by mail!) With his duties completed, he flew out of sight Wishing Peace to all SOLers and to all a Good Night! Wishing you all Peace and Joy this holiday season! SP

	Seventy-six trombones led the big parade With a hundred and ten cornets close behind... Aw, drat! I can't think of a next line.....but I'm not one of "them", myself...... If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

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!
