A Poem
Four Catamarans went off to Konnos Bay
We won’t do any racing, let’s have a pleasant day
Illias and Andreas, they had other plans
‘Not’ racing is for GIRLIES, so let’s get on our way!
With final checks and “tweaks” - English slang for final adjustments! - the Tigers were in the water
“Ade re”, Demetra said, “leave them, the fat man – he can pay!”
Antonis and Demetris, they started at the back, but weeks of long hard practice, soon had them lead the pack
Now Fatboy and Black John had had a trying morning
All the well meant advice had their patience wearing thin.
The idea of a non-race was soon firmly in the bin.
Four cats upon the water, not wanting to be last....
Strange how a slow sail to Konnos ended being fast...
