Cap'n ... you're as 'Fine as Fine Can be'
but with that bad cough you shouldnt be out
in the 'Early Morning Rain'. Excuse me, sir, but I can see my 'Minstrel of the Dawn' waiting for me. THis is going to be a
'Beautiful' day ... what plans do you have for this cruise next, Cap'n ...

I'm a slight bit woosey but it appears we've again crossed another time barrier and I'm amazed at the difference. From what I can tell the time seems to be about "1970" according to the way folks are dressed. Wait...is that Frank V over by the piano. There's a mist in the air
and I can't see where we are heading. It...it looks as though our fine young handsome troubadour has strapped on a 12 string and is heading for the stage. It appears that we're in the main ballroom of the ship and everyone is gathered around. The entire corfid crew is standing and applauding. Now this...yes...this...is going to be a great show. Is the song playing called "If You Could Read My Mind"?
I think that is going to be a huge hit if I may say so. All the lovely ladies are indeed in their finery and there's a gleam in the singers eye. With some luck tonight we might have this lovely ship at our fingertips. There is a real electricity in the air and everyone is smiling. Do we have any other reports as to what is happending?

All I’m after on this voyage is romance when I reunite with my first and only true love, Gord. Our souls joined in our hometown, many years ago. We spent our early years by a worn down weathered old mill in dreamland. There was no such thing as bad times, until a falling out one day...I sent him a railroad ticket and he gambled the ticket away. Our lives took different directions and much to my surprise, the world was in his hand and his touch had turned to gold. Over the years, I was drawn to his concerts, always hiding in the shadows. I know he too felt that same old obsession as I was told by many from our hometown that he always asked “did she mention my name?” When he wrote Beautiful, I knew it was for me. I couldn’t bear attending concerts because some women would cry actually thinking it was written for them! The rose tattoo is another reminder of our broken dreams.

I have remained in the shadows on this voyage, waiting for the right moment. But there’s a woman in a scarf with the initials SH who has been hanging all over him with her cup of whiskey. Who does she think she is with her treasures of paper and tin? The perfume she wore is obviously from some little store on the down side of town. The high seas are rough now. I must go topside for some fresh air. The deck is dipping and reeling. There’s SH, seasick and hanging over the stern rail looking bitter green. Here’s my chance to do something about her...a wave broke over the railing...whew, that perfume lingered on long after she’d gone...gotta get away.

OMG !!!!.. I hope Charlene doesn't read this ALL HELL will break loose..

Poor SH, but fortunately she still had a full bottle of the finest "MALT" ( from the Highlands..lol ). and was picked up by a passing Yacht.
Last seen happily scudding before the wind, arm around the skipper ( who could that be ?? )

keep smiling Ron.. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

Not to worry, Ron, me and the skipper are
doing just fine now - safely away from that
demented 'honeyed' spirit from ages past.
The Gypsy had warned me and Gord before we set sail on this cruise. It's just another
Lazy Morning out here on the calm seas where he can enjoy his 'delicious bru' ...

Ring those bells, Cap'n. We'll be 'Waiting for you' ... maybe http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif

Gee SH, I think you may be the lucky one, while you are off sailing and having a great time, the ship has docked in Toronto, well its not really Toronto, we are just to the east at a place starting with "W".

We're going ashore now, Charlenes at the end of the gangway, shes handing out rakes, shovels, paint brushes, brooms, lawn mowers, OMG no !! we've been SHANGHAIED !!!

Well, SH's fine young skipper has run her up on a boulder leaving her high and dry.

Gord & I are going to steal away in the noonday sun and enjoy the skyline of Toronto. Sorry, I don't do cleaning. Now make way for the lady...

All aboard the Lightfoot Liner! We set sail today for Margaritaville. Will Buffet
be there? Will we find that lost shaker of salt? I think Justin Heyward is on the trip with us. Could it be that we are in for a Lightfoot/Moody Blues concert spectacular or could this just be in my Wildest Dreams?

Man Overboard...A fight has broken out and the handsome mustached singer has spilled overboard along with the villain. Who is that masked man? Who will jump in to save our favorite singer? Only Love would know.

Hey, The Watchman's gone! OK, now I know You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train, but how hard is it to get on this ship?

B,
jump right in and maybe we start up another 'cruise'. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

Hey let's get the captain to take us to the Great Lakes! Have you seen the lighthouse shining from the rock? That was Split Rock Light on Lake Superior. Then after that we can make Whitefish Bay, steam down to old Michigan, roll through Lake Huron, and see the iron boats go farther below where Lake Ontario takes in what Lake Erie can send her...then go up the St. Lawrence all the way to Gaspe.
If anyone wants a side trip to Lake Couchiching, count me in.
