sailing for adventure

The ship gracefully slides across the water. The wind blows gently through my hair as the chipper crew works around me. A broom clutched in my hands as I sweep the deck.

"When the course is laid and the anchor's weighed a sailor's blood begins racing."

"With our hearts unbound and our flag unfurled, we're underway and off to see the world."

"Underway and off to see the world!"

The crew begins to dance around me. I smile and hum along with the song. I even notice the captain singing along.

"Heave ho, we'll go anywhere the wind is blowing."

"Manly men are we! Sailing for adventure on the deep blue sea."

I'm instructed to follow Jim up the ropes and into the crows nest. My eyes widen slightly as I look at the intimidating height of the flimsy ropes. I reach out and grab the rope with my hand when I feel a comforting hand on my shoulder. I look to see Jim standing behind me with a reassuring smile on his face. A small smile tugs at my lips and I gently nod my head before beginning the climb with Jim close behind me.

"Safely now, Mr. Silver. Let's not get sloppy just because we're singing." Mr. Arrow calls up to Long John as he swings from a rope. Long John only laughs in return. "Aye, aye, sir!"

"Danger walks on deck we say what the heck! We laugh at the perils we're facing."

"Every storm we ride is its own reward!" Gonzo sings happily, sitting on the railing of the deck. A hand on a rope to steady him.

"And people die by fallin' overboard-" A nervous Rizzo mutters beside Gonzo.

"People die by fallin' overboard!"

Me and Jim manage to make it to the top of the rope. Long John takes my hand and helps pull me into the crows nest. I hold onto a rope to keep my stable.

"Heigh ho, we'll go anywhere the wind is blowing! Hoist the sails and sing!"

"Sailing for adventure on the big blue wet thing!" Squire Trelawney finished, before cowering when Mr. Arrow approached-- sending him a dirty look.

"I love to see 'em cry when they walk the plank."

"I prefer to cut a throat."

"I love to hand 'em high and watch their little feet try to walk in the air while their faces turn blue."

The trio of disturbing men notice Mr. Arrow looming behind them, and they turn pail.

"Just kidding." One says while letting out an awkward chuckle.

"It's a good life on a boat."

"There are stand lands with burning sands that call across the oceans."

"There are bingo games every fun-filled day!" The tourists that Rizzo had let on earlier sing.

"And margaritas at the midnight buffet."

"Margaritas at the midnight buffet!"

"Heigh go, we'll go anywhere the wind is blowing!"

"Should have took a train!"

"Sailing for adventure on the bounding main."

"The salty breezes whisper who knows what lies ahead. I just know I was born to lead the life my father led." Jim sings beside me.

"The stars will be our compass. Wherever we may roam. And our mates will always be just like a family. And though we may put into port, the seas is always home!"

"All right, Mr. Bimbo. I didn't know you had such a good singing voice." Squire Trelawney noted to his finger, putting it closer to his ear as if his finger was responding. "You're welcome!"

"We'll chase our dreams standing on our own. Over the horizon to the great unknown."

"Heigh ho, we'll go anywhere the wind is blowing! Bold and brave and free! Sailing for adventure-"

"It's so nauseating!" Rizzo yells.

"Sailing for adventure-"

"So exhilarating!" Gonzo adds.

"Sailing for adventure-"

"We're all celebrating!" The tourists call out, margaritas in hand.

"On the deep blue sea!"
