Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish ladies,
Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain;
For we have received orders to sail to old England,
But we hope in a short time to see you again.
@...nyokki:
We’ll range and we’ll rove like true British sailors;
We’ll range and we’ll rove all on the salt seas;
Until we strike soundings in the Channel of England,
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues.
@...Puulaahi: Then we hove our ship to, with the wind at sou’-west, my boys,
Then we hove our ship to, for to strike soundings clear;
Then we filled the main topsail and bore right away, my boys,
And straight up the Channel of old England did steer
@...nyokki:
The first land we made, it is called the Dead-man,
Next, Ram Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland, and Wight.
We sailed by Beachy, by Fairly, and Dungeness,
And then bore away for the South Foreland Light.
@...Puulaahi: Now the signal it was made for the Grand Fleet to anchor,
All on the Downs that night for to meet;
Then stand by your stoppers, see clear your shank-painters,
Haul all your clew garnets, stick out tacks and sheets.
@...nyokki:
Now let ev’ry man toss off a full bumper,
Now let ev’ry man take off his full bowl,
For we will be jolly, and drown melancholy,
With a health to each jovial and true-hearted soul.
Big fan of maritime history.:) I prefer “What do you do with a drunken sailor?” though. I’d love to hear a shanty at sea on a while working on a tall ship.
@...Puulaahi: Show me the way to go home
I’m tired and I wanna go to bed
I had a little drink
About an hour ago
And it went straight to my head
Where ever I may go
On land, or sea, or snow
You can always hear me
Singing this song
Show me the way to go home
Set it to English (US). And remember to have Num Lock on.

@...nyokki: @...Puulaahi: maybe you guys know the rest of this one, this is all I can remember of it:
Our ship rides at anchor,she’s ready to dock.
I wish her safe landing, without any shock.
If ever we should meet again, by land or by sea,
I will always remember your kindness to me.
Its the last stanza, and I can’t recall the chorus
@...SumoSnipe: Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme
And lift up your voices in chorus with mine
Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may and might never all meet here again
Here’s a health to the company and one to my lass
Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass
Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may and might never all meet here again
Here’s a health to the dear lass that I love so well
Her style and her beauty, sure none can excel
She smiles on my countenance and sits on me knee
Sure there’s no one in Erin as happy as we
Our ship lies at harbor, she’s ready to dock
I hope she’s safe landed without any shock
If ever I meet you by land or by sea
I will always remember your kindness to me
Where are teh Jaws ? 🙁
I was gonna say the same thing. I don’t see anything Jaws related in this photo. Nice picture though.
It’s the wave’s name.
@...Dreth: Waves have names? Try North shore, HI. AkA Jaws.
You learn something new everyday.
I think it’s mentioned in the movie “Blue Crush.” An otherwise waste of two hours.
@...the3g_ipwn: Yeah, even Michelle Rodriguez in beach wear couldn’t save this one for me.
@...Flappycunt:
It was a quick Google search, I didn’t even click any links, but I realized there was something called Jaws in Maui.
Surf break from Maui, HI. The breaks Hawaiian name is Peahi but everyone calls it Jaws.
Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish ladies,

If you look quickly enough, the part of the water the surfboard just cut through kind of looks like a shark…

♪I GOT IN ONE LITTLE FIGHT AND MY MOM GOT SCARED
SHE SAID YOU’RE MOVING IN WITH YOUR AUNTIE AND UNCLE IN BEL-AIR♪
@...Dreth: How do you get the music symbol? I tried alt 14, but it didn’t work.
It’s actually
ALT+13 = ♪
ALT+14 = ♫
