Grown Men Behaving Like Idiots


Before we got our dock (I was 50, Buzz something like 56, and the Skipper, something close to infinity), we had a system to get out to the sailboat.

Our part of Maine, as I think I have mentioned, has 10 foot tides. Tricky stuff.

At low tide, this was the drill: we went down the 20 stairs to the beach/cove/slippery seaweed-covered rocks. We then carried (I am not making this up) the skiff to a vaguely floatable point where we used poles to get the thing to a more floatable point.

3 grown men, standing in an 8 foot skiff, poling.

Anyway, off we went and another beautiful sail occurred.
