For Team ITA_2011 - Relentlessly Chased and So Wanting Stealth Mode for their Boat

The anguish of being a winner:
You cannot take time out for dinner
If you're well ahead
You can't go to bed
You're just bound to get thinner and thinner

The attraction of going to stealth
Is to help preserve some of your health
Attacked through the night
From all sides a fight
They all want to take part in your wealth

A Poet's Apologetic Eulogy

There's just one thing that needs to be said
As this poetic needle I thread
When I'm dust and bone
They'll write on my stone
He was silent - except when ahead.

I really wasn't a head. It just felt good there for a wail

Another great one:

76Trombones 19:45: -
The wind in the South is speed "howl"
Yet we still discuss y as a vowel
Funny symbols on keys
Little hats on our 'E's
Might it be time to throw in the towel?

Some context might be required for those... I logged on today following the most chat activity in days, talking about different keyboard layouts of all things. Then Rod and mjm got into Inuit syllabics, font sets and language = #2

Am always impressed by the quality of English as 2-3-8th language rhyming on SOL. That got me thinking about my Turkish skills (nothing doing). The Caribbean Creoles are great, and I'll claim that my grammar is just a feature of the dialect... The Rhyme with SOL was too good to pass up:


Odinatè bato, anpil plezi
Pa twòp volan, se konsa pou lwazi
A new challenge on SOL
Rhyme in Haitian Creole
Panse ke petèt mwen tou dousman "crazy"

By Rod:

Rod 00:18: This applies more to NZ than here...

The winds they blow so slowly
I wish they did so more-ly
The boat she wallow
It's hard to swallow
My tummy it feels so sore-ly

On Procrastination

Rod and 76Trombones

Rod 02:09:
A man who has time for limerinks
Isn't working as hard as his boss thinks
When he has time for SOL
He isn't working at all
He's just up for jokes and hi-jinks.


76Trombones 02:22:
On the list of things to avoid:
Having a boss of skills quite devoid.
His employee is lazy
They're increasingly crazy
It's not easy being self-employed.

...
Some sailors cruise the Caribbean
While others enjoy the Aegean
Rock snow and ice,
It's this man's paradise
South Georgia's the place I'd be See'n

...
Were we sailing these waters for real
You'd discover my Achille's heel
Forget about wins
I'd go visit penguins
And the South Georgian elephant seal

...
Sambing found the Island of Beauchene :-(
A desolate albatross heaven
Looked like plenty of room
It's the fault of the zoom
SOL needs vigilance 24-7

We are sailing towards South Georgia
Trombones will get there before ya
He’s on his way home
But not quite alone‘
Cos we’re all off to Barcelona

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Samoa to Hawaii


The second race of our new series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones, takes us northward again up the Pacific Ocean, now from Samoa at 13.5 degrees South, across the Equator to Hawaii, famed for its breaking surf and active volcanoes, on the edge of the Tropic of Cancer at 19.5 degrees North. It’s 2300nm, so we’ll take our very steady Steinlager II. Race #1982

Beketov by Balloon 2026 - In Siberia


Way-back-when France and England, and Spain as well, were squabbling about who should control what of North America, only to lose the most of it to their own insurging colonists, their eastern European neighbour empire, Russia, was quietly assimilating vast, thinly nomadically populated territory of its own – Siberia! Amongst the many explorers and adventurers that served Russia so well in these conquests was the Cossack hetman Pyotr Beketov. Let’s pretend we’re he and eschewing horseback, let’s travel by balloon from Yekaterinberg to Krasnoyarsk – just a short 2000km (1100nm) section of the Trans-Siberian Express’ 9289km!

West Papua to Oregon 2026

Our next race in our Ocean Championships is the first of a series of great natural migrations we will track in 2026. The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed marine reptile on planet Earth, and chooses to breed in warm tropical waters, but prefers to forage in more temperate habitats, travelling thousands and thousands of miles effortlessly annually to maintain this way of life. Our race will follow one of the typical trips of this turtle, from breeding grounds in the seas off West Papua to the coast of Oregon. It’s only 5900nm, so to keep up, but in comfort, we’ll follow in our Gunboat 90.
