...and wasn't it some ferry ride on the way home today? Dishes flying - and that was once we were in the harbour!

 

I'll try to post a link to a video of the serene state of the sea just before we entered the 'safety' of the harbour, and let you know if I succeeded...

The Homecoming...

 

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,

And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,

And a grey mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn breaking.

 

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,

And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,

And a grey mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn breaking.

 

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide

Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;

And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,

And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

 

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,

To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife;

And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,

And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.

 

John Masefield

 

I must go down to the seas again, in a Johnson Wheelers group,

To suffer on Arran’s hilly roads on the String Road loop,

And hear the canteen dishes fly amidst a row of anxious eyes

As the ship rocks in to Ardrossan where we say our quick goodbyes!

 

a terrified Dennis White!

 

 

Ardrossan Harbour 22 November 3.55pm
