CYPRUS TO RHODES
We're back on Impulsive in Cyprus
There are workmen everywhereMark co-ordinates the project
The apprentice does his fair share
But there's time for a beer at the end of the day
Here,Keo's the local drop
The Black Turtle for Susie's birthday
Has zorba dancing non-stop
The marina can't give us a permanent berth
The place needs resurrection
But our move to the most remote pontoon
Talks the customs man out of inspection
At last we're ready and set off for Rhodes
But our level of confidence drops
When first the radar fails again
And then the engine stops
When we finally reach the old Rhodes port
It's dawn and we're ready to slump
But we're feeling quite pleased with our plumbing job
To by-pass the sea water pump
We arrive at Rhodos just before
Five grandchildren land for some sport
We enjoy catching up and spending some time
At the nearby Sunwing Resort
There's a pool for Lucinda and Lily
And one for Augusta and Anna
There are crabs in the rocks for Lachlan to hunt
And staff with the friendliest manner
Then Scott and Jeanette take Impulsive out
For a test sail down the coast
And Scott deposits our new crew on board
Who is going to enjoy this the most?
