Thanks, Ian. That's what happens when your main computer gives you the blue screen of death; and you dig out your oldest one and hope that it still works. Then, this is the sort of thing you find hiding in a corner! Happy sailing, Connie ex M-15 #400 LEPPO On Sun, Nov 17, 2019 at 9:18 AM Ian Black <seaweeble@hotmail.com> wrote:
Thanks Connie! It’s definitely a good song for beers around a campfire. Maybe quite a few beers…and definitely, let’s have the fire on shore.

Connie- Great song, but the last time I tried to sing (50 or 60 years ago) people complained of headaches!

At your next winter gathering in warm and sunny climes, remember, when hoisting a beer with other Montgomery sailors, to sing the Wrinkle Boat Song. New members probably don't know that we have a song to sing about our boats So for the newer members, here is the text of the song. It is sung to the music of "Oh Tannenbaum, Oh Tannenbaum" (Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree).
Song text:
Oh Wrinkle Boat Oh Wrinkle Boat, How glad I am that we’re afloat You take me out to mermaid-land And bring me back all nice and tan Oh Wrinkle Boat, Oh Wrinkle Boat How glad I am when we’re afloat.
Oh Wrinkle Boat Oh Wrinkle Boat How happy we are when we’re afloat You rock me gently to and fro The World’s in order; life is slow Oh Wrinkle Boat Oh Wrinkle Boat How happy we are when we’re afloat
Oh Wrinkle Boat Oh Wrinkle Boat How happy we are when we’re afloat With lee-rail under and getting wet Or greeting porpoises we’ve just met Oh, Wrinkle Boat Oh Wrinkle Boat How happy we are when we’re afloat
Oh Wrinkle Boat Oh Wrinkle Boat How happy I am when I’m afloat The water’s blue, we drift along And sing a verse of this foolish song Oh Wrinkle Boat Oh Wrinkle Boat How nice it is to be afloat.
Happy sailing, tell your stories, and make an old man happy. Connie M-15 LEPPO #400
