Oh wow, thanks for posting that mlines...lovely. That was us leaving Lym after a fantastic girly weekend.

Throw off your bow line; throw off your stern. You head out to North channel, past Keyhaven. Past the seawater pool where I skated as a kid. Blow your air-horn and throw a wave to the lighthouse keeper's kid on Hurst Castle. Then the birds show up: black backs, herring gulls, big dump ducks. The sun hits ya - head South. Open up to 12 - steamin' now. The guys are busy; you're in charge. Ya know what? You're a goddam swordboat captain! Is there any thing better in the world?
Just perfect.
