Augpilagtoq Bound

In Kangitisoq Monday night we spent And the wind did blow and vent But the anchor was down And all slept safe and sound But when a violent gust did blow The skipper would leap from his bunk below When the rain did stop on Tuesday Morning We up'd anchor and left the mooring Augpilagtoq bound were we Until we did decide to go and see A little bit further.. A little bit more.. But all the time, down the mountain the wind did pour But undeterred, We headed for the next berg With Psycho at the bow, Yelling "This way now!" We needed someone agile and slim, So up the mast went young Jim While down below Matt studied the map, And the Aussie had a crap But now we are paying the price, For spending all night going up and down in the ice Augpilagtoq seams a long way from here, But all the crew is happy as happy hour is near Fortified with gin, The skipper begins to grin He turned Antihope around and heads full speed up the sound With ice looming near, Over the side, Caroline throws the ships gear Proclaiming the ship is sunk, Mark retreats to his bunk But onward plows the fool hardy crew, Knowing it is the only thing to do But the end is now in sight, As we approach first light At 5am to Ariel we tie, And there is a smile on the face of Captn Bligh Now we are safe in Augpilagtoq And the skipper is writing his log So RKJ and the enquiry can see, It had nothing to do with me
