Skipper Change

Race 4 ended when we got in,

And Skip said he was pulling the pin.

We could only assume as to why,

But Clipper Race has found this other guy.

His name is Rich,

He seems alright,

Not too sure about the shorts,

They look a bit tight.

He knows his stuff on sailing this craft,

And is pushing the boat so we don’t come last.

With attention to trim and steering straight,

We can get this boat going so we won’t be late.

I wish Mark well whatever he is up to,

And thank him for his training knowledge and gusto.

With Rich at the helm we can’t go wrong,

Even his choice of music

He was playing my song.

Focus on board is straight and true,

Even with this motley crew,

So here’s to winning a race or three,

And make our sponsors proud

For we are WTC
