sailboats look like ducks. that can't just be coincidence. there's a storm a-coming and the boat is one more thing to think about. needed bumpers, found them on craigslist, more than i wanted to pay, but fair and not far from the marina. turns out the guy has designed and built sailboats of his own (one 12-ft lightweight right there in his living room), he offered to teach me what he knows. whoa! but that openness doesn't seem unusual in the sailing (cult) community. i figured it might be friendly but i wasn't completely prepared for it. when i got to the dock there was a dude grabbing my bow rail so i asked, what do you think? he smiled and said she'll be alright. he was just checking all the boats ahead of the wind. that seemed right neighborly and a civic good deed. i quickly taught myself a new knot and hung the bumpers. |
