Boat Is Formed

Foam is formed--A shape appears. It seems to be a boat---An upside down boat- Glass is cut ---Resin is spread, Becoming stouter with every hour, Layer after Layer---Role after Role. She is flipped with care Hanging cradled in the air. Lift and turn and flip— Please don’t fall. There she sits—sheer beauty. Upside right, for the first time. The man next to her has waited- Since he was eight--To build a dream. Work and perseverance with Gallons Of sweat and many ounces of tears, Have a catalyst effect because She is sleek perfection just like The Pride on her captain's face. She will hibernate and lay in wait-- To awake in the spring and Float the Cook Inlet…for all to see… The Catch 22 has arrived…with her Captain at her side.
