I have a fascination with boats. When I lived in Olympia, WA I spent many hours just staring out at the harbor. I envied all the liveaboards who lived their lives on their boats. That is a goal of mine someday. When I move back to the Puget Sound and Hood canal area I will make sure I make that dream become a reality. Hopefully, it won't be much longer.

I've lived in the city, I've lived in the towns. Left and right, up and down. I've played guitar and sang all around. Met some women and sang 'em some songs. Worked some jobs that didn't last very long. There's only one friend I've known all along. This old boat and me. Sailing away on the sea. There's something about water and wood that makes a man feel free. This old boat and me as far as the eye can see. There's something about water and wood that makes a man feel free. Now I'm old and gray and the world's too damn fast. Slow it down, make it last. Take it day by day and forget about the past. I'll sail away and live for the now. This old boat will show me how. Destination unknown from stern to bow. This old boat and me. Sailing away on the sea. There's something about water and wood that makes a man feel free.
