In October, 1996 I was in Tokyo on my penultimate flight before joining the Dreamflight team of helpers on the annual flight to Orlando.

I raised £60 by singing the song "Sailing" - with the help of my crew - in a local Karaoke bar called "the truck".

When I finished my piece, I was questioned by a colleague, Captain Jerry Page, about the reason for my fundraising.

I explained that I was about to join the crew of Time & Tide in Rio, for the rest of the BT Global Challenge race around the world, and would be seeking to raise money for Dreamflight. He mentioned that he was a song-writer, and would put pen to paper. He wrote the following words on the back of his weather chart on his flight back to London.

There is a river

Runs to the sea

And there's an ocean

Waiting for me

And there's a fair wind

To carry me

Into the silver night

To where I want to be

Time and tide

For every one a time

For every one a tide

There may be storm clouds

There may be rain

And there'll be hard times

Sorrow and pain

Sure there'll be laughter

And there'll be love

And through the darkest night

The shining stars above

Time and tide

For every one a time

For every one a tide

This is my moment

This is my tide

No-one can tell you

We never tried

This is my ocean

This is my crew

And from the silver night

I'll sail on home to you

Time and tide

For every one a time

For every one a tide

This is my time

This is my tide
