OCEAN EXPLORERS GRAND SLAM HAIKU

D R A K E
Quintal chord echoed
Oceans’ D major

The chord above is a Quintal chord, it is a rare chord consisting of 5 notes instead of 3 most commonly constituting the chord.

Upon completion of my coming expedition I will become the first person to row 5 oceans, which in other words means the first person to achieve Ocean Explorers Grand Slam. For comparison there are approximately 70 people who completed land Explorers Grand Slam.

It is D major, because it is a joyful, major, the accomplishment and D stands for Drake, which also carries number 5.
