Analysis of Thrill, Timing and Trouble of Heavy Sailing
Clearly coming it was
The dark wedge over Huron
Gusts, rage and rains
In a storm.
And the Race only
Half done with trusty
Crew of four.
Not a novel thing
Many storms battled before.
But each one its
Own pack of worries, wet
And sudden advantage or loss.
Get ready guys.
Will soon be hard for hearing.
For second options.
Keep in mind those two races
Where weather flips
Brought the winning advantage
And the champagne.
(Where Don’s quick response
Saved us from disaster)
We each know our part.
And will do best we can.
