After a lot of work the Sovereign sits in the lake. So another summer begins. Hanging around the boatyard shooting the breeze is always part of the process. This year Kadizzle had a chance to chat up some of the people with sailboats you never see out on the water. Some people are shy, and some people don't like to get too far away from the dock. All the old sailors are getting older and shot up. Age is taking it's toll on the old pirates. All alone our boat sits waiting for the others to come out and play. Every sailor likes to buy some gadgets every year. Kadizzle got a nifty little umbrella he can clamp to the rail. It is cheap and will probably fall apart at the speed of lightening.
Always Kadizzle invites a lot of people to sail. Few ever show up, but you never know. It turns out Shiny has a bad hankering to sail so that is one mission that needs to be completed. Stoupini is nuts about riding Amtrak so again he is off towards Portland on the train. Shanika made the last trip with him, but it did not suite him. Kadizzle has not take a train trip for forty years, and might like to try it again. One thing you forget on American trains is they go through the junkyards of the country. You get to see the absolute worst part of every city. You are not on the bad side of the tracks, you are on the tracks. So the sun comes up and the sun goes down. Perhaps we can put up a sail this week.
