Oh come on !
Sounding like a fair weather boatie to me.
Get out there and enjoy the breeze, you know you'll enjoy it once you get going.
Glorious weather is just round the corner.

Wuss - wait for the Keeling

My God, I remember when I was captain of a whaler bound out from Leith to Torshavn in the Faeroe Islands, standing in my rightful place at the Bow (front) of the ship defying God and the elements to put me under.....
It was blowing something like a choppy force 17 at the time and I turned around to my Starboard (right) and saw the crew being sick over the side.
I said "Come on Chaps" (called them Chaps and by God they loved me for it) "lets all heave too"
"Sorry chaps - bad turn of phrase - Lets all pull together and we'll get to Torshavn if its the last thing we do"
My God the chaps responded splendidly and this is the song we sang as we ploughed our way onwards

Question - how do I attach a soundtrack to this?
Regards
Claymore

There are an awfull lot of rainy clouds forcast for us on Sunday & Monday.

Decorating the bathroom flitted across my mind for a nano second but thankfully that idea scurried away to where it belongs.
Seminole.
Cheers Bob.
