Ahoy there Boatbloggers,
Well the wind's dropped, and the boat's stopped, so what does a sailor do in this situation?
That's right. Put the kettle on and have a cup of tea. And then....it's time for a nice sing song to keep up morale.
So we put the piano in the cockpit, and this is what we came up with...
(To the tune of "We are sailing," by Rod Stewart - obviously)
We are sailing
We are sailing
To St Lucia
'cross the sea
We are sailing
Atlantic waters
In a boat called
Domini
Spent a fortune
Spent a fortune
Four thousand Euros
At Rolnautic
Now we're cruising
I think we're losing
But we should be there
By Thursday week
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Or has the sat phone
Gone down again
The autopilot
Gave up on Tuesday
And now the wind's dropped
Till who knows when
We are sailing
We are sailing
To St Lucia
Come what may
Double-handed
But we ain't lonely
There's an ARC fleet
Not far away
We are sailing
To Rodney bay
The video of this unique event (possibly an ARC first) will shortly be available in all good record shops. To pre-order, please send cash to the usual address.
Keep on trackin'
