The engines are hidden but
one
can tell even w/o seeing
them
they are big.
I was standing on the
seawall
checking out this boat
so low
and flat w/somewhat aggressive
graphics when a dock boy
walked up, asked, “Whaddya
think?”
I wasn’t really sure
what I was
thinking but do know I nodded
and he offered, “It can
make it
to Fish Creek in 14
minutes.”
On Revision it takes, oh, a while
longer and yes, we would
go on
to see that boat on the
bay and
the hair in the cockpit was flying
as it skipped wave to
wave.
“14 minutes, huh?” is
what I think
I said.
I believed him then.
I believe him now.
