Seamaid

This is a modified Tritina to meet the requirements of the contest:Ten Lines Five Words.

We were pushing our luck
Thinking we could make Adelaide
The wind was hard abeam
Making a full hellish scream
New course need be struck
Fast decision must be made
For my ship the SeaMaid
Hard to port doth seem
The right thing now struck
Luck, make Adelaide hard abeam
