Steve et al-

Well, here's an extra background verse for Steve's song:

The Swiss crew trained all winter amidst them Alpine slopes,
Sailing their toboggans helped them learn the ropes;
You should have heard them shouting as they came thundering by,
"Lean out, me lads, on the weather rail, the Spinnaker let fly!"

Hmmm, probably Steve means "balmy" in his third verse rather than "barmy."

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
