3.2.10)
Today, TEESSHIPS celebrates our 10th anniversary!
A while ago, knowing this milestone was approaching, I had
hopes of producing some extravagansa to mark the occasion. As the weeks, and
months, have passed, that dream has faded ... and I offer you nothing new -
sorry!
Except my one and only sighting so far in 2010 (a year which will also
see me hitting my 50th anniversary of ship
observing!)

Sea Fever by John
Masefield
I MUST 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 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 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.
