Paul and Deborah Singing the Shallow Water Friends Song
Here are the words to Paul's Song:

Rollin' down the Chesapeake,
The clouds are carrying rain;
John just smiles and turns to Norm,
Says "It's Spring Cruise time again."

Ken is on the radio
Checking on the fleet.
Sampson's in the lead again,
I swear that guy must cheat.

Waterbed looks so pristine,
She's also moving fast.
Blue Heron hasn't shown up yet,
She always gets here last.

(Chorus)
Winter time is gone at last,
My soul is on the mend.
I am on the Bay again,
With my Shallow Water friends.

Gerty's in their Martha Jane,
It's the coolest boat afloat.
And Jake is dreaming of a launching ramp
That is even more remote.

Ardea is one fine boat,
She's really built to last.
And who'd have thought a guy that old
Could sail a boat that fast?

Time Enough has too much time,
I'm envious as sin.
Is there anybody else
I haven't gotten in?

(Chorus)

Dovekies, Sea Pearls,  Shearwaters,
MacGregors and Bay Hens,
Will all raft up to share some beer,
And get rained on again.

But Navy guys, computer geeks,
Engineers and more,
Have found their true vocation where
The water meets the shore.

Me, I'm on my boat again,
In existential bliss,
Hoping Walter Elliot
 Will draw a picture of this.

(Chorus)

***********************

Walt did draw a picture and here it is!
