The Schooners

With billowed sails the Schooner glides across the open sea The crew secures the rigging as they’ve done through history Port side there’s a Humpback coming up to take a look They watch in pure amazement its like a picture from a book. The Skipper takes the Helm and guides the vessel on its path The crew they scramble round the deck to fight mother natures wrath Everyone has got their job the Main Trimmer, Mast and Pit The Secondary Trim the Foredeck and the Main Trim/Tactics As the Schooner fights the rugged waves The Skipper steers the wheel It brings on such excitement that it can not be concealed With puffy trade-wind clouds above waves of blue below If one gets the chance to sail, the Schooners the way to go
