When The Long Trick’s Over.
”I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.”
- from ‘Sea Fever’ by John Masefield.
The Alexander Von Humboldt II lies berthed at Leith Docks, a magnificent three-masted barque based in Bremerhaven used as a sail training vessel.
