ROB AND KEN
Hooooray!!!! I had to teach the crew about a fine Irish tradition, the "breafast beer". The momentous occasion occurred at 10:24am today when we passed the mystical position marking 1000nm to sail to reach our destination of Virgin Gorda, BVI. Yesterday marked three weeks since we left Benalmedena, Spain. It is nice to be able to envision the pot of gold at the end of this rainbow cruise.
By magic, our recent MAY DAY has been redacted
For another case of beer has been extracted
Sequestered away under Lee's bed
Another twenty four cans for the crew to be fed
So while we still have a thousand miles to go
We can drink a can a day, and watch our beer bellies grow.
