Twin Spirit…Wednesday 9th July

We’re off again to explore the NSW Coast in the Good Ship Twin Spirit. Our lovely home for the next month is a Perry 43 Catamaran an extremely stable drinking platform, as I fear a little bit of eatn, a little bit of laugh’n, and a lottle bit of drink’n, and there may even be some dancing, will be the order of the day.
Now let me introduce our crew:
Our Trusty Captain……Admiral Lovepants alias Doug
His loyal companion Luscious Lil……Lizzie
First Mate Captain Jack Sparrow…..alias Nick
Dogs Body………Curvy (Curvy Screw) Pam

Boarded the boat Wednesday late afternoon on one of the chilliest afternoons this winter which is par for the course when you want to go somewhere, so of course with the rain starting and wind coming up we decided to have a farewell dinner at the RMYC, as one would.
Sailed around the mooring before deciding that here we would stay for the evening and listen to Lovepants’ song he had written for the Journey which I will now relate to you.


G D Am C
We’re taking our leave of this tedious Life
G D C
And taking our chance on the sea
G D Am7 C
We’re sailing away with the wind and the tide
D C G
In a simple attempt to be free

B7 C
Four bold risk take-takers, make no mistake
D7 C
We’re seasoned as any might be
G D Am7 C
Sea faring sages, our combined age is
C7 D7 G
Two hundred and thirty three!

D C
We’ll follow the breeze and our only concern
D Am7
Is who’s standing for the next shout?
D C
We’re all prepared to go anywhere
Am7 C D C B A 7
As long as our super holds out



G D C
The good lord watch over our dodgy old crew
G D C
Sparrow and Curvy and Lil
G D Am7
Wherever they roam, bring em safely back home
C D G
And God spare the Admiral!

Over and Out

Thursday 10th July

Woke to threatening skies and very strong wind gusts during the night………Nice to know you are still tied up at the mooring!
Listened to weather, and strong wind warnings for Pittwater and Gale Force for Coastal are predicted where we were intending to sail through. Consequently we high tailed it to Refuge Bay wrapped up in ski gear until the wind and seas abate which looks like Saturday at the earliest.
Radio on, and one lone caller radios Coastal Patrol for weather report. After Coastguard tells him the report, the sailor commented “that’s probably why there are no other boats around”……..except us, says it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like Little bit a eatn…a little bit of music and a lottle bit a drinking coming up!!!!!!!
OUT………….

Woops still getting to know the site again and the date was wrong ….my fault, also for those who know music the notes have downloaded in the wrong place.
OUT…(in the head me thinks) Curvy
