2002 LIS CD Race Bravado

[Ed Haley]

I wouldn't worry too much about being blasted by water balloons next summer from certain members of the fleet. They're bad shots, especially when they're shooting from behind as they usually do.

Since I read the invitation in one of the subject bars, (Will the real #1 step forward) I may as well enter the fray. Mokita is in her bunk in Mystic and may just stay in the area for next summer to rewrite CD history once and for all before disappearing into waters of the hinterland up north. 'Tis a mighty draw to burst the bubbles of ye southern blokes!

Aye, someone drive the nail thru the dubloon to the mast
And a fair race she'll make.
We'll see who can make 'er run fast
When thar's soft gold at stake.

So fix your PHRFs and scrub those planks.
While the cold north wind she blows.
'Cause when at first ye sees the snakes
Look for Mokita in front of ye nose!

You're soon to see a cloud of white
Abaft of Mokita's wake.
Manys the reason for a sailor's might
For plying the lakes called GREAT.

Captain Healey,

Well if you all wern't runng so hard to getaway........Although I do belive Macht Nichts Tacked down hard on Realization and got off a few cannon balls.

To our Northern Brother Ed Healey
New Captain of Mokita.
Who last year rode so freely,
Will have to say “see ya”

It will be Macht Nichts
blazing by in glory.
Who all aboard agree, will beat the fleet.
And that will make you so sorry.

To all aboard Hanalei,
Proud Captain and mate.
This year you may have to turn to the Lee,
And find yourself a new racing date.
