And now, the end is here
And so I face the final courses
My friends, I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain
I’ve lived a life at sea and that’s now full
I traveled each and every high sea
Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the safe track
And more, much more than this, I made it with you All …… my team

Thank you All, it has been always a pleasure to sail with you and please continue the good team work existing here on the Beautiful and Elegant Statendam.

With great memories…..!
