West Country Sailing Ketch IRENE - Tales of Brave Ulysses

1907 West Country Ketch Irene homeward bound across the N Atlantic in 2012 with a cargo of wine, rum and olive oil. Crew of 5 trainess and three officers. She is well reefed with a wind SW F6-7, but still making 9kts.

The song, performed by Cream, was written by former Oz magazine editor and artist Martin Sharp. A song created out of a different kind of trip to Irene's, though to her crew, perhaps no less mind mending.
