well done Courine.

Courine, I'm still fairly new to the forum threads, even though I've been crunching for some time, so I feel like I'm still visiting my team thread and wouldn't want to approve putting something there.
Rather than scattering your song in multiple threads, why don't you put it in it's own thread so we can track your progress better?
This might be one of those places where it would be nice if each team had their own forum instead of all teams in one forum.
I've always loved the tall ships, although I've never piloted one larger than a 13 footer (single mainsail with a jib), and then it's been longer than I want to admit to (possible older than you!).
It looks like you are wearing biker shorts in your signature picture. Are you a cyclist? It's a great way to keep your legs in shape, although it's another thing I've only occasionally done in recent years.

Slowly bumping my way up the stats.

No fair Courine posting a picture that looks like someone in their early 20's!
You actually have one or two years on me.

I guess this explains the appeal of Crosby & company (Stills and/or Nash and/or Young and/or many others).

I'll make you a deal, put your entry in it's own thread where you can maintain the first entry with your latest material, and I'll post a link to it AND give it an occasional bump to keep it some what current.

If nothing else, this will reduce the number of threads you have to maintain, and should reduce overall forum impact (yes, I occasionally play the admin role. You know, the one who is always responsible for when it breaks, but rarely gets thanked when they spend extra hours to keep it working).

and of course my BUMP

The best way to have a touring post is to move it to the thread that it serves. It, like this thread, is to bring forth awareness to problems this forum will be facing. The example of having the song here is not obviouse, but if you look at the average post length in this thread, even this post is somewhat lengthy. I could have just said

BUMPology, properly: Phrenology

Character analysis by studying the shape and surface of the skull. Also known as Cranioscopy and Bumpology, it is based on the study of the structure of the human skull to determine a person's character and/or mental capacity.
