It's hard, being a boat person. We build boats, we buy boats, we sell boats, and every once in a while, we take on, inherit, or build a boat project that just can't be finished. Eventually, these boats end up just rotting - a dream who's time has ended.

Rather than get bogged down by the weight of these dead dreams, we have decided to burn these boats, in a kind of hero's farewell on January 1 every year.

This year, Darrell P (the elder) came up to help Greg (the younger) and I load up this year's crop of dead dreams.
