Location: Mallorca
Glowing bright moonrise
Blesses the end of our squeeze
End of Saturday
Soap, degreaser, suds

Crouched, slipping deckies

The Tyrannian Lady
A close CPA
We hail, and we plead:
“Please, we are but a schoolship,
Students at the helm”
Kindly they divert
The cruise ship motors by, as
We hold our course straight
Night sail continues
Winds remain favorable

A sunrise approach
Mallorca mountain outline
A pleasant anchorage
Chicken noodle soup
(No soda on the side). A

Boat to bed, deck wash
Full boat appreciation
Clean happy Vela
Jump-in showers, grub
Sunset on surrounding cliffs
Squeeze: “Your favorite sound?”
Waves crashing, owl hoots
Snow, water, chart house EPIRB
A few of the best
