Dr.Michael Chia

When I was young I sought to dream of challenging the sea

It took a leap of courage but didn't capsize me

I grew to love the ocean, as a sailor I was free

With reckless abandonment, I flew above the Phuket Tsunami

​

I wrote about my exploits and if you haven't read the book

It tells the story of a skipper along the lines of Captain Hook

From keel to cat to trimaran, I've grown in size and speed

to catch the wind within my sails is an ever pressing need

​

Though ninety now I'll seek to make the furrow follow free

I'll write book two to navigate the years ahead of me

This, dear friends, I hope will be my lasting legacy

So I'm not done yet, I've far to go before I'm memory

​

With "Buay KaoLa" I'll tack and jibe and challenge you ..
