Celebrate - "Capturing Zephyrs"



CAPTURING ZEPHYRS by Jay Ailworth
Anyone can sail with the wind blowing hard,
But true skill is tested when dealt the light air card.
A broad reach can be the toughest sail set of all,
Constantly wary of a luff about to stall.
The kite pumps a living breathing lung,
A symphony of sound being sung.
Maybe a gently wheezing ruffle, kerpuflle, kerflap,
Then out of no where a mast shuddering, brutal jarring snap.
Now is when you need all your sailing skill,
Doing whatever it takes to get the spinnaker to puff and fill.
Things can get heavy when the wind goes light,
It is not always so easy flying a kite.

Until next time...

Charlie, Cathy & Jay
