WESTWARD HO
Three years in the planning
ASTRA for the ARC
overcoming all their problems
the old salts could embark

Up the mast or on the helm
catching fish for tea
changing sails in freshening winds
or just looking out to sea

With witty website entries
delighting those ashore
and splendid pics from Nicky
who could ask for more

Brown spirit from molasses
issued to the crew
keeps ASTRA on the rhumbline
crew and skipper too

In Drake and Nelson's footsteps
sailing westward ho
intrepids on the ocean
a long way still to go
