Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

It's amazing for a species that has inhabited this planet for such a short period of time, to speculate what happened millions of years ago, when none of it's present inhabitants have completed one lifetime yet.



Or have they??///

Are we talking Deja Vu here Spitty?
One has to speculate to accumulate

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand
But I still need love cause I'm just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?

Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

Why am I so emotional?
No it's not a good look, gain some self control
And deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt

Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

I'm not in love
So don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because
I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no no, it's because
I like to see you
But then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you
Don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no no, it's because
I keep your picture
Upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me
To give it back
I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, no no, it's because
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh you'll…

Sea Tales from Old Hong Kong

Hong Kong Island is surrounded by another 365 other islands most of them uninhabited. But this scenario makes for hours and hours of pleasurable sailing. There are many sails of different shapes and sizes – I mainly sailed a light weight racing dinghy called an Enterprise [12 footer] around HK harbor most Saturday afternoons with it’s owner a GP friend of mine – finishing up with a warm shower and glass of beer in the Royal HK Yacht Club of which I was NOT a member!

More rarely I sailed when luck came my way on a 37 foot cruiser with large sails and its own engine which could disappear in the blink of an eye!
One week I got a call from a marine engineer mate whose son was coming out for a few weeks from UK to stay with him and he wanted me and my son to make up a small crew of four to take out a 37 footer around some of the 365 islands. 'Done' says I with always a weather eye open for any opportunity for adventure away from my boring govt weekly job.

He picked me up on Saturday morn and we took off for a 30 min drive around to one of the dozens of smaller yacht clubs. He had borrowed the yacht from another mate and the boat boy allocated to this yacht and many others took us out in his runaround aluminum craft to the yacht.

On board we clambered armed with esky of beer cans and some homemade sannies. A nice breeze was about – quite keen and we took off without a care in the world and each of us ‘lads’ taking turns at learning to handle a 37 footer instead of a 12 footer. The big yacht was much more fun and strangely easier to handle. The warm summer day turned into a relaxing beer guzzling cigar smoking nautical afternoon. We had lost all track of time and weather until?.........to be contd!!

Love your stories of the old HK Gummy.
How did you get into the Royal Yacht club?
