How would you like to wax this?

May 13th, 2008,

Just drove by this boat in Anacortes. They were putting the communications tower on.

No problem, "Wax on, Wax off". Repeat as necessary. It looks like you live in a pretty tough neighbourhood, perhaps you should move to the other side of the tracks? I suppose vessel like this are what the Florida lawmakers are calling "floating dumps that need to be moved"? I just noticed that they can't even afford a good Danforth or Fortress anchor, either.

Yeah, my office is just up the street from a low-rent boatyard too. Have to drive by unsightly derelicts every day. Can't even avoid them from the water either.












It used to be such a nice neighborhood too.

Oh man, there's a broken down weed-eater of some sort stored on the deck of that first one. How tacky!

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
