The Richards & The Dallas's have had a great trip along the coast of America. Lots of lovely sails, fantastic food both onboard & on land, and a few "Bloody Ben Richards" days to keep us all out of the priory. We visited some beautiful towns along the way and Julia and I have found our favourite clothes shop.........EVER, much to Ben and Andrew's dismay. After an Uber cab ride from JFK to Stamford which included the fastest ever Supermarket Sweep style dash to re-provision and we were off.
The Dallas's came through the gates all waves and smiles
Then straight in an Uber cab churning the miles
A quick stop in Stamford for a supermarket dash
With Julia and Benny already arguing over the cash
Then down to docks a race to set sail on time
With Julia stressing madly at the absence of wine
It's fine we agreed we can drink from the "box"
Whilst secretly hoping it wouldn't give us the pox
The first of many lovely meals produced by Julia on board
After we discovered a wine shop we had lots of fine wine to hoard.
Newport Rhode Island was a sight to behold
The New York yacht club were awaiting us to dine we were told.
In our fine bib and tucker we landed ashore
We drank & we ate too much then Julia shouted "more"
I am sure that the Amaretto finished us all
With Julia & Andrew risking the slope with Ben watching...... Appalled!
The junior members wife seemly leading us all astray
But a donation to charity negotiated in the affray
As we woke with our sore heads to Zeldas bar we did go
To eat eggs with crab & remember how Zelda changed our lives long ago
To share all the memories with special friends was so neat
Then raced through the town to grab lobster to eat
A fine meal on board - lobster & potatoes - such class
No wine tonight agreed - " yeah right" what a farce
A few more short hops to the penultimate destination
Martha's Vineyard so pretty - no need for restoration
A night on the town, lovely meal another hangover to bear
Breakfast in the diner the next morning coffee and eggs all round sounds fair
The nights on the town beginning to take their wicked toll
To stay awake at the bar - but he couldn't - was Benny Boys goal
A bike ride at pace to see all of Matha's vineyard
The next morning we set sail Andrew noisily hoisting the halyard
Our last stop and night together we went to the island of Block
The sun setting as we anchored, time running out on the holiday clock
Risotto prepared by Julia for dinner and ever so yummy
We sat back and checked out the expanded holiday tummy
Sucking the ever expanding girth in we all sloped off to bed
Some of us (Julia) beginning to nod off before we were fed.
After an early departure our final destination in our sights
We have eaten & drunken and put all our worlds to rights
The boys are fixated on a new motorboat - a beautiful Hinckley
Sadly if we are to afford one they will have to save till we are wrinkly
Goodbyes are now nearing our lovely friends we must leave
Sad faces, quivering bottom lips - the flight home we will grieve
A holiday of a lifetime, laughter & friendship shared with you
We will miss, you take care, the crew of the good ship Hullabaloo
