Good Song! from the Storm Tactics DVD

Thank You! Lin and Larry from the Storm Tactics DVD

The Yacht Club Bar. (Alternative version)

Chorus: I love to sit around the yacht club bar
and talk about things we're gonna do.
I love to sit around the yacht club bar
because it doesn't move.
The swells are big and the winds are high
but that don't bother me.
Cause I never get lost, and I never feel sick
It's a wonderful life on the sea.

My boat it is a big one boys, my crew it is the best.
We race around the entrance buoy, beating all the rest.
We're the first ones home with a bent elbow and a powerful salt spray thirst.
We sit around and drink all night and see who comes in first.

I took her out one Sunday, we were two miles off the shore.
The wind it was about fifteen knots, I couldn’t take no more.
The waves they must have been two feet high, the swells at least one more.
So I lost my nerve and turned right back, to the bar back on the shore.

My head it was a reeling, my feet got tangled up.
Those brand new sheets were everywhere, just trying to trip me up.
The halyard broke, and the boom fell down, I couldn’t take no more.
Mayday was my final cry as we headed back to shore.

My sailing days are over, because of that great scare.
You others take a warning, and don't you go out there.
There's winds and seas and swells so high, how can you stay afloat.
Just be like me and drink to the sea and never untie your boat. LOL!

Para Handy expressed the same sentiments...

Oh! The Crinan Canal for me,
I don’t like the wild raging sea,
It would be too terrific to cross the Pacific,
Or sail to Japan or Fiji.

A life on the Spanish Main,
I think it would drive me insane,
The big foaming breakers would give me the shakers,
The Crinan Canal for me..

Chorus:

Oh! The Crinan Canal for me,
I don't like the wild raging sea,
The big foaming breakers would give me the shakers,
The Crinan Canal for me.

It's the Crinan Canal for me,
From sea terrors there you are free,
There's no shark or whale that would make you turn pale,
Or shiver or shake at the knee.
I would nae like leavin' ma bones,
In a locker beside Davy Jones,
From Ardrishaig to Crinan's the best trip A'hve bin in,
The Crinan Canal for me.

Chorus:

Aye the Crinan Canal for me,
It's neither too big nor too wee,
Oh! It's lovely and calm when you're frying your ham,
Or makin' a nice cup of tea.
You can go for a stroll on its banks,
To loosen your muscle bound shanks,
You can darn your socks while you're still in its locks,
The Crinan Canal for me.

Chorus:

next generation...

We took a friends mobo through the nolly a few years ago, to the (almost) incessant sound of John Duncan MacRae and the rest of them on CD.(singing "that" song)
The son of one our friends was assisting with the energetic bits as he is a semi-professional racing crew, fit and knowlegable.
The poor boy spent most of his time trying to be invisible and pretend he wasn't with us.
Price of fame.
