The Evening Tide

We spent a lot of time on the lake together.  We weathered many storms, practiced many Chinese fire drills, raised sailing girls together, argued, drank, sang, and played dare to be stupid.  We raced against each other and with each other.  Now Bill is going out on the evening tide.  Bill is pulling his anchor after a long life as a sailor and friend.  All this made me check on a story I wrote many years ago.  " Local man invents sailing".  Local Man invents sailing.  Life goes on and we all will be pushed by the winds of time.
