"For it's fare thee well my own true site
Mudcat Members, fare thee well,
For I'am bound to log in as a Guest,
And your losses, can only swell.

Ch

So fare the well the Mudcat site,
When I return united we shall be,
It's not the leaving of Mudcat that grieves me,
It's the friends that I know so well.

I am bound for some quiet thinking time,
Round the back of the Happisburgh Shoal,{*)
And I'll think of Blogg of Cromer fame, {#}
And, perchance, sing the songs to his name.

I have gone to do my own thoughts,
No trolls or flamers bother me,
I can watch the bad threads from afar
Rise up and fall like a shooting star.

{*} Get a chart, or the sailing directions for the Norfolk Coast
{#} Henry Blogg - a very gallant man, see the threads on Lifeboats, RNLI, Songs about the lifeboat disaster 1886??.
