Devo and their Energy Dome Helmets (Flowerpot Hats). - photo © Event Media
Dear Recipient Name
So yes if you are old enough, dust off your flowerpot hats and sing away in memory of Devo. Of course if you are not old enough to remember the new wave, post-punk, alternative, synth pop, rock band, you could be wondering why is he devastated. I'm not. In this instance it is deevo, not devo. Such is the modern language BTW... (Argh. Argh. Argh.)
Now whilst Devo's song had a more sinister tone based upon their theories that we had in fact regressed as a race, I was thinking to myself just how far we had come. Take the Jules Verne for instance. A trophy originally conceived to honour the man and the title of his oh-so-famous book, we are now at just on half of the prescribed 80 days as the current record. Even the single-handed 'lap' at just under 50 days is well under, and only around 22.5% behind that of the crewed dash.
It all began when I started looking at Sail-World.com, and all the people racing around local patches, bays and harbours, coastal hops, or oceanic passages. Evidently I am not the only one surveying all the stories either, BTW, for our numbers continue to show that you are as well, nearly always in record numbers. So thank you for your patronage; on behalf of the Sail-World team, and also our terrific partners, without whom none of it would happen.
