“Days, precious days
Roll in and out like
waves
I got boards to bend,
I got planks to nail
I got charts to make,
I got seas to sail
I'm gonna build me a
boat with these two hands
She'll be a fair curve
from a noble plan
Let the chips fall
where they will
'Cause I've got boats
to build”
(Jimmy Buffett)
I’m pretty
sure Tom Sawyer didn’t have as much fun or build a boat as nice as the one Stan
has been working on. Holidays and cold wet weather have slowed the progress on this
little vessel, but now it’s almost finished. All it needs is a few more coats
of varnish on the redwood trim, and a nice day so we can take it on its maiden
voyage…I’ll let you know how that goes later.
