Put him in a long boat


What would a gathering of old salts be without a cacophony of sea-shanties to pipe them aboard?

    Gorgeous boats, adorable old salts, and great old songs. Cacophony, I'm sure, but what fun!

    Fun, indeed. The entire festival, weather not withstanding, was a wave of intense pleasure and fun. And with the muffled city as a backdrop it was a moment of contemplation for me, which I treasured immensely.

    You create great advertisements for Sydney! Next time I visit I must look-out for old salts!

    That happened to me, also. Had the crowd been smaller, I would have jiggled around until I had the reflection just so ...

    Don't think you could have improved on it. As for the quote...not Silverstein. Rather one of those other children's book authors, who, rumor has it, lives in Brattleboro in the very shadow of Brattcat. (-:

    I'm in love. My dad used to have a converted wooden fishing boat, until he sold it and got a fibreglass one - just wasn't the same.
