Dear readers,
Please do not judge us too harshly
Our poor wee brains work only partially.
Lack of sleep.
Read'em and weep ;D
Blue
Whooosh, splash, singing sea
Thirty knots, thirty knots yo!
Creak, thud, flying boat.
The Crew
Fiji is calling
We set our sails north
Laura is the apprentice
Turning her head to each new rope
Malene is a sailing Ninja
Toolbelt and spatula in hand
Orla is a fisherman
No fish yet for her people
Stevie is the storyteller
Weaving our path to Land
Fiji is calling
And we are ready for a cold beer.
1000 Mile
Skye Blue
the four of us
her able crew
So this is goodbye
hope to see you.
Later
New Zealand
....
And once our lines are cast
there's no coming back here
The customs guys made that clear
We are ready to be on our way
It's quite ok
Our feet are getting itchy
We want to go to Fiji
Then we're off at last...
And now it's all about the forecast, to sail fast, a
strong mast, outrun the blast
Of low pressure isobars
We count the stars
The numbers say we are ahead
Its breezy and we are getting spray
But it's quite ok
Our feet were getting itchy
We want to go to Fiji.
And that is what we get up to
Your Skye Blue crew
