(Course find beat chime melt groan shimmer sign water still oath short)
Course find for beat; stopwatch chime; starting gun;
Melt distance to sound of the rigging’s groan;
Shimmer sign water still; round mark to run —
With oath stopped short near finish; left alone!

This actually worked out quite well.

have you got the words out of order or doesn’t it matter,
seems that melt comes before chime and short before oath; but I suppose you’ve got a a logical excuse that probably won’t make sense to me 😥

This is always tricky. Both are slightly lower than the other words, and are taken by me to be on a new line, as I read any move out of straight across will make them, In the same way it could be argued that groan comes after shimmer but to me it is on a line of its own.

But we had the same thing working for us in a Provincial Regatta where we chose the end of the line where there was wind, while the rest of the fleet . . . didn’t!

Oh, the scorching memories – nothing more discouraging…hand paddling and someone hanging on behind kicking – sadly not allowed.(Someone toss a rope, we’re over and done here…)
