I want the brief on this in ten business bullets:Putting an oar in … this is Vibe Writing…
synthesized by
This is an experiment on how to create an article quickly that I couldn’t get access because it was behind a paywall and I just wanted to bookmark and this is the bookmark experiment using a technique called Vibe writing;
which is like five coding that I made up just like carpathy made up his term vibe going you’ll find;
that you’ll laugh a lot because every time I say vibrating too fast it does that word which is in autocorrect over voice;
so I have to slow myself down and say vibe writing as two things two to six world this is known as a voice correct disaster ###Hashtag hashtag
this is the way I converted things- 🐺🦊
the image of above describes what I’m doing here in the experiment and now here is the content.

It was an interesting article about the oldest boat race, which started in 1829 between Cambridge and Oxford universities (“Out of the blue”, HTSI, April 5). However, I would like to report about another boat race between the esteemed universities of Harvard and Yale (Boston, MA, and New Haven, CT, respectively).
This regatta was first contested in 1852. It is held annually at River Thames in New London, Connecticut. No, not Thames, but Thames, rhyming with “James”, with the “th” pronounced as in “thing”!
Happy boating!

# 10 Business Bullets: The Harvard-Yale Regatta
The Harvard-Yale Regatta, often simply called "The Race," is America's oldest collegiate athletic competition. Here are ten key facts about this historic rowing event:
1. **First contested in 1852** on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, predating the famous Harvard-Yale football game ("The Game") by 23 years[1][4].
2. **Annual tradition since 1859** with exceptions only during major U.S. wars and the COVID-19 pandemic; the 2025 race will mark the 158th competition[1][3].
3. **Unique location on the Thames River** near New London, Connecticut, where it has been held almost continuously since 1878, with the river pronounced as "Thames" (rhyming with "James")[1][2].
4. **Record-setting course length** at four miles, making it the second-longest side-by-side rowing event in the world (only the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race is longer in distance, though Harvard-Yale typically takes longer to complete due to slower currents)[1].
5. **Harvard dominance in the series** with the Crimson leading Yale 96-60 in varsity races as of 2024, though Yale won the 2024 race held in June[1][5].
6. **Tradition of painting "the rock"** at Bartlett's Cove in the victor's colors—red for Harvard, blue for Yale—following each year's competition[2][3].
7. **Multiple race categories** including the varsity (1V) competing for the Sexton Cup, second varsity (2V) for the F. Valentine Chappell Trophy, and third varsity (3V) for the New London Cup[1][5].
8. **Historic training camps** established by both universities along the Thames—Yale at Gales Ferry and Harvard at Red Top—where crews spend approximately two weeks preparing for the race[1][2].
9. **Presidential attendance** throughout its history, including Theodore Roosevelt at the 50th anniversary regatta in 1902 and Franklin Roosevelt in 1934 watching his son compete for Harvard[2].
10. **Significant spectator event** that once drew crowds of up to 100,000 people and a 500-yacht spectator fleet in its heyday during the 1920s, with observation trains following the crews on both sides of the river[2].
The next Harvard-Yale Regatta is scheduled for June 2025, continuing this storied tradition between America's oldest collegiate rivals on the water.
