This promises to be another great story. I'm looking forward to reading more. Thank you for sharing.
living in BC Canada... good to read well written stories based here in BC
waiting patiently for the next chapters
good stuff
Established the setting, introduced the principal characters with some of their back history and left me eager for more. Pleasing to find well constructed sentences and no errant apostrophes.
Very nice beginning! I missed it when it came out and only found it because I saw the next segment. Going back to read it now.
I love the slow build up from a derelict through to a lovely boat. The characters are interesting and while the overall plot may be foreseeable, there is room for a lot of interesting byways.
The quote is "a boat is a hole in the water surrounded by wood that you pour money into,and water out of"
The two best days of a boat owners life - - -"the day he buys it,and the day he sells it" ***
***did it.
"If you wish to bankrupt a man, give him a racehorse or a yacht or a mistress."
Hey! That gives me a story idea.
Thanks, C2
Boat is actually an acronym
Bring Out Another Thousand
Well written, looking forward to more... Like the mention of the GVRD. Ex lower-mainland person too.
Along the same line. “If you want to make a small fortune start out with a large fortune and then buy a boat.”
Former yacht owner here, yes it’s a hole in the water you throw money into and requires continual upkeep, but what nobody ever understands is that the boat is always there as a concern in the back of your mind, a bit like having a teen offspring but not knowing if they are ok or if they’re in trouble, are the mooring lines ok, did I leave the bilge pump turned on, there’s a gale forecast and you worry if it’ll be damaged. The worry/concern never lets up….
