Nat's thank you speech

Heitor, Marc and George before we leave the waters of Ilha Grande

We wanted to say a few words of thanks from the merry Aussie band

We have had a great time on this trip

Side by side on our happy ships

First to Heitor the Captain of Voyager and overall chief

Thanks for putting up with all our sh.t and constant grief

You have welcomed us and your hospitality has been second to none

Thank you so much for ensuring our fun

To Marc of the non French name

Thank you for more of the same

You have put up with the whinging chicks

Even worse Smurf and Mick

To George our fave cook

Thanks for all, you should start a recipe book

Our grasp of Portugese is worse than your English its true

For all the beer and booze runs we are indebted to you

I have known Bloss for many a year

Shared laughter, good times and many, many a beer

I am so pleased we are together on this occasion

To bring in the big thirty celebration

Then of course there is Lips

She has been restained on this trip from flashing her nips

As always in Moronville there have been many cracking calls

‘Do you think those dogs are related?’ best of all

My cousin little Poo Bear

A mini me with different coloured hair

She always says it and of course it is true

‘I am so lucky to be related to you’

Then there is little Nic

For a friend of Poo’s she is not a bad chick

It’s always fun to have her along

Forever keen for a beer and full of song

Then of course there is the infamous Countdown

Gone bright pink in her efforts to go brown

But never able to keep a good b.tch down

We know she will lead the charge on Rio town

 Well on to Smurf our favourite gay guy

He smokes, drinks, b.tches and tells more lies

The things that come out of his mouth always shock

More than any of us he loves lots of ….

Then there is Mon so pure and sweet

How she is our friend still has me beat

About little Cocky I cannot say anything bad

We will continue to corrupt and send you mad

Then of course there is Mick

Loves to be at the back of the boat and flash his d.ck

Thanks for the laughs and the Sydney yarn

Still think you should be locked in a barn

To Kerry girlfriend of Mick

You deserve a medal for putting up with the pr.ck

You win the prize for tan of the tour

You have a constant white bikini that is for sure

Then of course but not last or least

There is Mappa and her friend the beast

On this trip she has not been well

That has not stopped her raising or squawking hell

I know you have all come a long way

Spent a pretty penny or two to be here today

So to all the Brazilian sailing crew

I just want to say a big thank you

I am so very lucky to have such good mates

My birthday trip has been better than great

We’ve sailed, dived, been shark bait and swum and swum

Had too many drinks on the Atlantic and even more fun

So this is the end of the sailing bit

Bring on Sambadrome, Rio, balls and all that sh.t

The Atlantic is on the move to Rio town

Let’s hit it hard and party the place down
