I’ve been spending my days of late sanding teak, sawing through fiberglass, and drilling and tapping stainless steel backing plates. Â It’s just like being in the workyard in Mexico, except with three major differences:
1: It’s 50 degrees instead of 115 degrees
2: There are hardware stores! And they actually carry hardware!
3: At the end of the week, I have more money than I did at the beginning of the week.
I’ve got to say it’s never felt so good to be working on a boat.  Granted, there’s no extended cruise waiting for us at the end of the workyard tunnel, but I have found joy again in my labors.  I love to be around boats, and this new job affords me that.  For eight hours a day, I poke and prod and scrape and cut and pry and sand and glue and tear apart and slowly rebuild boats.  It is an incredible endeavor.
And each day, I learn more, which is of course the purpose of life. Â I’m learning about new materials, new tools, new techniques, all which make me a better craftsman. Â And the crew that surrounds me is a phenomenal bunch of boatmen and boatwomen, and if only through osmosis, let alone actual apprenticeship, I will ultimately become a better seaman.
Now I just need a woodshop at my fingertips, and I think I’ll be ready to dive into a project…maybe building a sea kayak or a sailing dinghy? Â Or perhaps buying a project boat? Â Did I mention our new house (keep those fingers crossed, people, we haven’t closed yet) has a full basement that looks perfect for a boat building workshop?
Sounds just like my life except I’m not getting paid 🙂
