All the cruisers were snoozin' for it'd been a long day Up with the sun for coffee and the Net Gossip, news, and weather more fun you'll not get Breakfast in the cockpit is fruit and fresh bread We chat and we laugh til the sun's overhead Next we load up the dinghy and head to the dock To get Maggie to her flight, we keep an eye on the clock She makes her flight and soars o'er the sea And now just like that, our four becomes three But no time to dawdle there's more work and more play Then over the radio hails a boat 'cross the way "Can we borrow some milk to make up our pie?" So I swim it over, hey what a guy Along with the milk, we send a bone for their dog As I paddle I chuckle, This'll go great on the blog. Next on the list of our social to-dos A picnic and dinghy drift, bring whatever food you choose. The dinghies all convene and tie off together Luckily for us it remains such fine weather Now back to the Starshine to settle in for the night Sure it's only 6:30, but we're losing light Sea cruising people are quite social it's true But its safe to say they'll be in bed before you. So now all is quiet, we do our own things Steve's on the computer checking on the Vikings Hope reads her book, the third one since noon Luckily there'll be a book exchange soon Me, I just sit here and soak it all in Reflecting on what a great day it's been And I think of my friends wherever they be Wishing them the same happiness and wonder as me So now this is posted I'll sign off just right Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night. |
