about

My first sailing experience - this is the story of my Skipper and his boat.

lyrics

Vida Deriva

It started from a tiny spark
That sprang into his mind
The product of a dream he had,
Just wasn’t sure what kind

He searched for info far and wide
He read all kinds of books
browsed thru lots of magazines,
Comparing the different looks

It had to be real tough and strong
Go to hell and back and then some
thru his research he did find
She had to be aluminum

He knew he needed a little help
So a builder he did call
Ted Brewer said “no problem”,
I’ll design you a mighty hull -

So out he pulled the welding gear
On he donned his mask
went about to build his boat
A huge and formidable task

Now there are just a few things
I think that I should say
she was built in the land of snow
Mile “0” Alaska Highway

Yes sir folks, that’s what I said
I swear it all is true
She was built near the Rockies
Miles from the ocean blue

Now, she did take some real hard work
Alot of sweat and cursin’
A dedication and strong will,
bruises he’s still nursin’

For five long years, he did toil
Most people thought “he’s nuts”
But people who were close to him,
Said “boy that guy’s got guts!”

Yes, There were those that really thought
it was just a lark
They smiled and called him “Noah”,
teased him about his Ark

But he just grinned and chuckled
went about his way
He built the Vida Deriva,
He’s sailing her today

Man she loves to dance the waves
She glides along with pride
playfully she catches the wind
her crew warm and dry inside

Congrats to you now, Skipper
On an awesome job well done
I wish you health and happiness,
Calm seas and lots of rum

Putting the livingroom back in the music - Emmylou Harris

I love this saying, has become my mission statement...

I grew up in Northern Canada, and while always having a deep love of music, it’s been later in life, since 2012, that I started writing and performing.

My intent is to spread love and joy through music, which hopefully leaves you with a smile in your heart. ... more
