Jeanne Hewell-Chambers’ Barefoot Heart

And The 70273 Project

Everything I Need to Know About Life, I Learned from My Boat

Boat2

You have to pick up speed so the boat will plane,
allowing you to see where you’re going.

Boatphoebe

When you need to pass
– and you will –
always pass on the Right.

Boatwake

The faster you go, the less wake you leave.

Boat3

You have to be in gear to steer.
Neutral just won’t get you anywhere.

Sometimes one battery is enough.
Other times you have to turn the button to the “all” position
and give it all the juice you’ve got.

    Never been much of a boat person, but I’d sit on that dock and wait for you to come home! I’d forgotten I even have an “all” button. I’ll have to go look for it!

      What fun that would be – coming home to find you sittin’ on the dock of the bay. As for that all button . . . I wouldn’t bother;)

      It IS relaxing, Sugar. There’s just something about riding in a lined hole in the water . . .
