Never Give In
Did I See a Yacht?
Let us hoist the sails full-blown before the wind
Let's race the wind and ride the waves
Let's turn our backs on the hassles of the hour
Let's enjoy the elements again ...
Yes ... and a drink, a wine, a beer - a pint or two
Let's race these clouds
Let's feel the wind in our hair
Freedom is here bestanding the deck
And who's that there?
What? Him?
The Spirit ... hitching a ride
He leads without prompting
There is no guile or cunning
Got that Guys? Got that Girls?
Great!
Swing the Jib
Let go the Spinnaker
Helm - let her spin!!
Bring her about

When things start going awry, I always take to the sea, even in the mind's eye!!!
Helm - let her spin … bring her about
Ken Webb is a writer and proofreader. His website, kennwebb.com, showcases his work as a writer, blogger and podcaster, resting on his successive careers as a police officer, progressing to a junior lawyer in succession and trusts as a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives, a retired officer with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and latterly, for three years, the owner and editor of two lifestyle magazines in Liverpool.
He also just handed over a successful two year chairmanship in Gloucestershire with Cheltenham Regency Probus.
Pandemic aside, he spends his time equally between his city, Liverpool, and the county of his birth, Gloucestershire.
In this fast-paced present age, proof-reading is essential. And this skill also occasionally leads to copy-editing writers’ manuscripts for submission to publishers and also student and post graduate dissertations.
