Lets just congratulate the winners and commiserations to the losers at this stage. Dean Barker and his crew can hold their heads up high and be proud of their contributions to one of the greatest Americas Cup regattas ever. There will be a lot written about this Americas Cup campaign in coming weeks.

Roger Whittaker: I don't believe in If anymore...

- "I Don't Believe In If Anymore" http://youtu.be/-Lx8c3-djc8 written by Roger Whittaker and released as a single in 1970. If you enjoyed this you may also enjoy "The Last Farewell"http://youtu.be/Su241KaPctgNow if you load your rifle right
And if you fix your bayonet so
And if you kill that man my friend
The one we call the foe
And if you do it often lad
And if you do it right
You'll be a hero overnight
You'll save your country from her plight
Remember God is always right
If you survive to see the sight
A friend now greeting foeNo you won't believe in If anymore
If's an illusion
If's an illusion
No you won't believe in If anymore
If is for children
If is for children
Building daydreamsIf I knew then what I know now
(I thought I did you know somehow)
If I could have the time again
I'd take the sunshine leave the rain
If only time would trickle slow
Like rain that melts the fallen snow
If only Lord if only
If only Lord if only

Not over yet rover - NZ has not yet got their hands on the Americas Cup...
Not over yet rover - NZ has not yet got their hands on the Old Mug - the Americas Cup. I know the rules are the rules, but they stink to the high heaven. The time limit for a race should be something like an hour, not 40 minutes. The rules for the next Americas Cup campaign in NZ in a few years will be based on fairness and sportsmanship too, surely?

A canyon longer than the Grand Canyon, was found buried under Greenland ice-sheet. Simply incredible...
The hidden canyon is up to half a mile deep, six miles wide and stretches for 466 miles beneath the country’s giant ice sheet.
It is thought to have been carved out by a meandering river more than four million years ago – at a time before ice covered the area and humans were just beginning to evolve from primates.

Another piece of Munzly's Stuff and Nonsense...
The Saga of E.Chaw GreensHow wild is thy distopiary,
With tumstall leaves a'rye.
Can there be o'greenyness,
To asperitate this tiny mess,
And doest thy tall slip dye?Well shall our annimariant,
Sigh, groat and patient pant.
For 'tis crost like cruet buns,
To live this oar of funnytuns,
And oft slive to recant.Why not withall missolginate,
Thy cransh is not orl'e'ate.
Foulfall fails to clear the bend,
For by chain is flush distend,
And strands thy orful monumate.
