Sailing is going well. We’re pushing hard - someone mentioned cheap beer and good food in Liverpool!
Just thought I would show a poem produced by one of our crew members:
Tick Tick by J Fretts
Tick tock goes the clock
not long now till we dock
Ventures high ventures low
not long now till we go
Our Skipper Lance has been so true
with his tickly moustache and his orange shoe
He guided us here and sailed us there
he pushed us hard until he dare
Kathy and Sue cooked all the food
puts crew and mothers in a very good mood
Let’s race really hard until we see
the flickering lights of the Mersey-lee
It’s podium time for the pink panther
so 123 look no further
This Leg 8 team is very strong
beer in hand it won’t be long
Friends and family with hugs and kisses
I can’t wait to see my missus
And then next week what’s in store
this has enriched our lives and much, much more
Let’s not forget the times we’ve had
great friendships made of which I’m glad
Tick tock goes the clock
not long now till we dock
Ta,
Lance
