So long phoenix. Fair winds and we'll see you in Ireland (country) after you've calmed down from Brittany

We stood and watched our sailors go,
Into the fog they roam.

To find the line where sea meets sky,
Away from loves and hearths and home.

Trim your sails to foreign seas,
Where good ships crew are made.

We stood and watched our sailors go,
And like a sigh, from view they fade.

So long Phoenix. Fair winds and we shall see you in the summer.

We not only have an incredible harbour with amazing ships. But a team of highly skilled crew. Recently we made a mast and the netting was made the old fashioned way.

Traditional skills of the sea. The netting on the fighting tops in the harbour is made the old fashioned way.
