This is Radio Pacific calling M.S. San Doria -Radio Pacific calling M.S. San Doria -Are you receiving me, San Doria? -You'll be in our hearts tonight And we wish the entire crew a very merry christmas.



Christmas at sea - far away from home.

No families and no heavenly snow.

Christmas at sea - visions of home

Sailing tonight all alone.



Black is the night on the ocean


Candlelight shines on the sea


Everyone's full with emotion -

At home
that's where they long to be.



Mama is reading your letter


Jingle-bells ring all night long.

White are the trees and the meadows -

Children are singing a song.



Midnight is near and we're praying


Everyone fights back his tears.

Lord, bring them home
someone's saying


And keep them safe while they are here
.



This is M.S. San Doria calling Radio Pacific -M.S. San Doria calling Radio Pacific -The whole crew sends it's christmas wishes And we're looking forward to seeing you all again soon - merry christmas everyone.

Just came inside after watching a sunset filled with extraordinary colours, accompanied by the breeze playing in the leaves of my neighbour’s tree.

I stayed till the sun had faded over the horizon, how beautiful it was to watch.

Then I read your poem, how lovely it was to read your beautiful words Sailor.

Your writing is a gift to us all.

Beautiful words Sailor. I hope you had a lovely day.
Your song reminds me of how young Jessica must be faring out at sea alone.
