Fun On the Ocean

Nootka Sound where we’ll be found taking in some great scenery From snow capped mountain peaks to white cap ocean waves and fantastic greenery Out on the ocean, it can get really rough, eagles soar and sea lions roar, If you get close enough You’ll have no cares, with the smell of the salt and the wind in your hair You may find a bay where you can get oysters and clams, and if you’re lucky, rock crab as well So when you come back, you’ll have some great snacks smothered in garlic butter, only your thighs will tell Oysters on the barbe, are the best, just add lemon, soya and mustard at the very least, you will have a feast Whale watching is easy when you’re in Galiano Bay, Orca’s come in with their calves and stay all day Yes, it’s great to be found out in Nootka Sound, where life just drifts by on a blistery day and you don’t have a care in the world Gale force winds make you rock and waves keep you rolling Just like being out on a fishing boat; trolling Prawns are tough to find, ‘cause there’s never enough to go round Too many people have found what we’re seeking With so many traps and their pleasure crafts, they’re taking it over They think they’re rolling in clover Taking the boat and with your mate, you might get to do some cod jigging But the cod doesn’t bite, the time isn’t right, so go back and take off you’re rigging Soon it’s time to head home, the fun is all done, and it’s a long drive to Gold River But we’ll come back again to play some other day, where we can start all over Geri Price 06/06/06 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
