Seems only appropriate to share this song as the shoreline of West Grand Traverse Bay is slowly filling up with sailing and motor boats attached to their respective mooring balls.
As for the Snoloha corporate yacht, well, it still needs a little engine work before she touches the water. Okay, maybe it’s not a “yacht”, but it is a boat.
And anyone reading this who owns a boat or who has owned a boat has probably asked themselves this question, “why?” Why own a boat when you have friends with boats, right? I don’t know either. I guess it makes me feel cool staring at the engine and touching certain hoses like I know what I’m doing. And if I didn’t own a boat, then I couldn’t back it into the garage in the winter, crank up the heat, kick on some tunes, fill up the cooler and watch the snow falling outside and saying things like, “can’t wait until summer to drop this beast in the water.”
Anyway, I digress. The boat will be in the water this year…

“Water Days” – Jim Morris

“Marinas in the morning
Seem so calm and still
Coffee poured at dockside
Warms the early chill
Rosy streaks of rising sun
Fading shades of gray
Sliding past the boat slips now
Gently on my way
From this moment on
It’s gonna get better
Life and luck
Just changes on the water
One big morning kiss
Everyday should be like this
It’s all about life, oh yeah
It’s all about love
Water days can take me back
To the simpler times
Water days can clear my head
And bring me words and rhymes
From the morning calm
To the evening breeze
Take it all the way
Make a toast to the setting sun
A perfect water day”
