Bahia Huevos, Costa Rica
'Tis the night before Christmas,
not a howler monkey did roar,
when in 'tis remote 'n isolate anchorage
came the crooning of cruisers caroling....
(to the tune of The Twelve Nights of Christmas)
On the first day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me,
One Booby on the masthead.
Two Working heads
Three Full Sails
Four Whales Breaching
Five Crew a puking
Six Anchors dragging
Seven Dolphins leaping
Eight Knots we're flying
Night Trawlers trolling
Ten Foot swells
Eleven Three Bean Salads
Twelve Lurkers listening
notes:
The Captains to sing "One Booby on the masthead"
The female crew to sing, "Five Crew a puking"
lyrics by s/v Encanto and s/v Our Tern.
We wish you a Merry Christmas.
We wish you a Merry Christmas.
We wish you a Merry Christmas.
And a Happy New Year.
