Nutical Nautical Well, here it is --Florida -You finally made it here.

You sure took your time -It took you a whole year. With some stops along the way You'd rather not have made Docked at places --not by choice -That you'd rather not stayed. The boat, She held together Took the bad with the good But you didn't have a doubt -You always knew She would. Al least a part of your dream Has finally come true And I don't have any doubts That all the rest will, too. You have the perseverance And you have a strong will To keep going when others wouldn't 'Cause they'd have had their fill. You're one of a kind, "Lady" Like the "Cheshire Cat" boat. And I know you won't give up -That you'll keep both afloat. After talking to you some I know you won't give up And I also know some day You'll have your silver cup. Boating is a way of life The one that suits you best You're going to do it your way -To hell with all the rest! And when your trip is over And all is said and done Those people will look and say "She was the lucky one."

"She had a dream in her heart That she would not let fade And she made it all come true -Well worth the price she paid." You did it all, your own way -You have a stubborn streak. And the way of life you chose Is not meant for the weak. You'd never made it alone But, neither would have he And both of you should be proud You're two souls who are free. Del Abe Jones
