Under ominous grey skies, in a freezing wind, on a deserted river bank towards the close of day and the close of the year – There is something tantilisingly romantic about about beat up old boats, Neglected and decaying in their moorings on a winter’s day, waiting for summer and an improbable even impossible last voyage – just one more time for love.

une invitation au voyage.

Come my love, slip away with me,

Cast off in the flow, to the mighty sea.

Come cabin cruise away your blues,

Cast off, break free;

On my ship of love to the mighty sea
