Off the blog for a while

Dear Friends,
I expect the time is very near that I'll be on line wherever I go, but for the moment sailing away - today - means no contact with my blogging friends.
Take care, I'll give a shout when I'm back!

If you're not back soon, we'll come looking for you. There's a battered old rowing boat on the Thames fifteen minutes from my home - I'll find myself a Jolly Roger and set out with that. Must remember stores of biscuits and limes. And fifty cannon. No, maybe five. Fifty might sink the boat.

And I shall name my flagship... The Seeker.

Hi Koos,
So where are you sailing/faring to.
Let me know if you are in the area...but I guess you are going south, Belgium??. Is Val with you? Anyway, enjoy. When do you expect to be back. High time for me to go to Rotterdam by then.

MESSING ABOUT ON THE RIVER
(Tony Hatch / Les Reed)

Josh MacRae - 1962
Danny Kyle - 1998


When the weather is fine you know it's the time
For messin' about on the river
If you take my advice there's nothing so nice
As messin' about on the river
There's big boats and wee boats ands all kinds of craft
Puffers and keel boats and some with no raft
With the wind in your face there's no finer place
Than messin' about on the river

There are boats made from kits that'll reach you in bits
For messin' about on the river
And you might want to skull in a glass fibred hull
Go messin' about on the river
Anchors and tillers and rudders and cleets
Ropes that are sometimes referred to as sheets
With the wind in your face there's no finer place
Than messin' about on the river

Skippers and mates and rowing club eights
All messin' about on the river
Capstans and quays where you tie up with ease
All messin' about on the river
Outboards and inboards and dinghies you sail
The first thing you learn is the right way to bale
In a one man canoe you're both skipper and crew
Messin' about on the river

Moorings and docks, tailors and locks
All messin' about on the river
Whirlpools and weirs that you must not go near
Messin' about on the river
Backwater places all hidden from view
Mysterious wee islands just waiting for you
So I'll leave you right now, go cast off your bow
Go messing about on the river
have fun you and val..xxxx....
