Devaune Ratteray – Lay It Out On The Line [Lyric Video]

After allowing us a “fly on the wall” perspective in the behind the scenes video “Get To Know  Devaune Ratteray Better”, “Lay It Out On The Line” Becomes Devaune’s second single released off of his EP entitled R.E.D.  The title has no significance to the color red but the letters are Devaune’s initials backwards. Devaune also ensures, If you enjoyed the behind the scenes look of his journey, there are more to come.

London based Bermudian performer / artist Devaune Ratteray is adding another dimension to his roster as an entertainer by entering the music industry. 

“The stage is where I feel at home. I know that sounds cheesy but its the truth. The prospect of sharing my music will never cease to excite me.”

#NewportBermuda Race 2012 @BdaRace

 

During the 2012 race, Seahorse Magazine Editor Dobbs Davis is providing a twice-daily video commentary of the action.  

The Bermuda Race, or Newport Bermuda Race, is a biennial yacht race from Newport, Rhode Island to the island of Bermuda (in odd years, the Marion-Bermuda Yacht Race occurs), a distance of 635 nautical miles (1175 km) across open ocean … read more @ wikipedia

Among the features of the 635nm Newport to Bermuda Race is the changeability of the race track. Between the Gulf Stream and the weather systems, what the 90-foot Rambler saw in route to  crushing the elapsed time record was much different to what was seen later in the race.

Matthew Gregory was onboard Bretwalda 3, a Rogers 46 owned by Bob Pethick, which finished just over 19 hours after Rambler (39:39:18 versus 58:59:41).
Here was their race…

The highlight is the paradox of risk management from a routing perspective. Sail fast – really fast and furious – straight to the finish or sail an extra 30-40 mile to the west to go find (or maybe not find) a 40-60 mile long sliver of Gulf Stream that’s only 5-10 miles wide but would give your already 15 knots of boat speed a bonus 2-4 knot push towards Bermuda.

Sounds like a simple choice. However, all of the 160+ boats were told about the Gulf Stream gains to the west in the pre-start briefing. Hence many will go to the west of the rhumbline, and maybe, maybe stumble upon that sliver of Gulf Stream core. 

So hence the paradox. Low risk is to point at the finish line right out of the blocks and focus on max VMC sailing based upon the boats sail inventory and performance characteristics. But since you’d be bucking the advice of the Gulf Stream experts, you’re probably going to lever up on the fleet by being one of the few rhumb liners. Hence the low risk move becomes the highly levered one.

Ultimately this Bermuda race came down to the low pressure system in the last 80 miles of the course (at least for our Class 8). That’s the position we played out of the blocks. For me, this race was about setting up for the wind condition (the low over Bermuda) at the end of the race, rather than it was to roll dice in the Gulf Stream.

Nearly all the boats are now finished, and by matching the elapsed time to the corrected time, the 2012 edition proved that the faster boats in each division tended to be the winners. This was certainly the case in Class 3, where Rives Potts’ McCurdy and Rhodes 48-foot ‘Carina’ won both their division and the St. David’s Lighthouse Trophy as the corrected time winner of the entire amateur division

De’jon Simons … The Story of A Burn ‘Survivor’

The Dejon Simmons Story.

De’jon Simons  (Author, Poet & Motivational Speaker) is a well-known Bermudian who has managed to overcome a horrific life-changing ordeal which left him with only a 5% chance of survival after he received third and fourth degree burns to 97% of his body. Because of this life changing event, he agreed to share his story with the world as he aided in the production of his tell-all documentary titled “The Dejon Simmons Story” which explores all aspects of his accident, his reaction, other people’s reactions and how he’s come to accept who he has become.
 
His great strength and determination exhibited in his documentary allowed him to inspire numerous amounts of people both locally and internationally which lead him to become the recipient of the 2005 Bermuda Sun’s Man of The Year Award. It was with this experience that he learned his true purpose. He recognized that he had an incredibly powerful message and was committed to sharing it.
 

De’jon writes on his facebook page, November 11, 2011.

Yesterday I spoke openly on the radio for two and a half hours about my situation for the first time ever. It was beyond invigorating. The radio host was crying, my PR agent was tearing up & even those just at the station looking in, but they wasn’t crying out of sadness. You see, when you bring some real to a person without any distractions or spin, the connection is unbreakable. But hearing people call into the station asking me questions, sharing their own struggles LIVE on air made me realize something. Who I am, what I write, and what I do is WAY BIGGER than me now… Realizing that, I was left with the thought of knowing ‘Memoirs of my Scars‘ is way bigger than just a book, it’s a connection …

De’jon began writing as a therapeutic outlet.

His writing has given insight and inspiration to others erasing the physical appearance of him while letting readers find an image through his words.

Ten years of agony and hardship has lead to De’jon’s first published book (December 14, 2011) consisting of an intimate collection of poetry – ‘Memoirs of My Scars‘ – that follows his path of self-acceptance and self-expression.

The first piece, entitled “I Am Not My Skin”, introduces readers to his world of isolation and pain but the poem ends with the revelation that there is more to De’Jon than his outer appearance.De’Jon’s book has received reviews from the bestselling author of Bereolaesque: The Contemporary Gentleman & Etiquette Book for the Urban Sophisticate, Mr. Enitan Bereola II, and his ICU nurse from Shriner’s Children’s Hospital for Burn Survivors in Boston, MA. Mr. Bereola shared, “Love, hate, anger, confusion, contentment, tragedy, despair, hope, purity, honesty, authenticity, vulnerability – this isn’t a mere collection of words…this book purges understanding onto those who have none.” Nurse Maston of Shriner’s wrote, “One often wonders if there is any life worth living after such an event (the accident). This collection of poetry shows the reader that although there are many struggles after such an accident, there are also many joys to be had in life.” Ms. Maston went on to say, “The poetry is so well written that the reader actually feels what the author is feeling. I became so engrossed in what I was reading and although I found myself crying tears of sadness, there were also many tears of joy.”Since the accident, De’Jon has performed spoken word and has presented in Bermuda and the United States as a motivational speaker. Memoirs of My Scars is his first published literary works. His graphic design projects have been admired by many through flyers and artwork posted to Facebook. He has extended his talents to writing and creating riveting book covers for his upcoming book releases and other local books.
