So I entered this after an hour of writing; upon reflection I would call it
Romeo and Juliet - Harpswell, Maine 1977. (but then again who would name a 100 word f.f. entry?
Janet was early. The tide….well the tide
was running late.
She
fired up the old diesel, un-cleated the Mary Lou, and took off after her
husband. Jack was old school; he had placed a dozen palm sized rocks down his
hip waders.
We
learned our lesson from Lonzo Gilbert. Why, it must have been twenty odd years
ago he was swept over the side of his lobster boat. They fished him out a half
an hour later, after the seagulls had at him.
Jack’s
boat went down this mornin’,
I
wonder if she forgot the rocks.
Nice fun story. Cheers Hank.
