Instead of Vieux Fort she ended up in Rodney Bay
But she organized herself and collected her wits
And early next day she had found the ship
She hopped on to the Nauticat and met the crew
Captain Dave and Edith and Paul came too.
Now Joy was not used to boats, this was all new to her
And the Caribbean weather was unsettled, it was very windy this year
The first trip was long, from St Lucia to Bequia
And it was rough and rolly all the way.
She didnt do much, just took it easy
But both her and Paul really got queasy
A couple of days in Bequia to help mend her ways
With no rocking boat, they were very good days
And two new people came and joined the crew
Isabelle from last year and Anita, who was new
Then we headed of south to the isle of Canouan
But this year the wind was really blowan
With all the rocking and rollin she was seen
Joy was starting to look a little green
The trip to Mayereau was not much better
Infact it got even wetter.
Nauticat then went to the Tobago keys for a day or two.
Joy ( in pink) with Anita
And day and night it blew and blew
Day and night the boat was a rockin and a boppin
Said Joy " when is this motion going to be stoppin"
Gravol and others didn't do the trick
Joys tummy was always a little bit sick
So a quick but rough trip to Palm and Union Isle
And a day on land brought back Joy's smile
But pretty soon it became plain to see
As Joy said" This nautical life isnt for me
I need something without any motion
Not a small boat on an rough old ocean"
The next day the weather was windy and rough
Everyone knew the sailing would be tough
So when Nauticat left Union Isle
Nobody on board was wearing a smile
There was no joy on the beat to Mustique to see Mick
And everyone was feeling a bit sad and a bit sick
Because SHE had changed her mind
Joy had chosen to stay behind
Edith , JUy (in pink) , Anita, and Paul
