Where the Engineering Mind Meets the Open Sea

Boatyard. February 2015.
I love boatyards. The tangle of metal, derelict vessels, and rusted tools, encompassed by tall weeds, ultimately gives way to the highest order of a boat awaiting launch, ship shape. 

The people who work here are invariably interesting. They are real engineers, highly skilled, having to fix the broad range of problems that can beset a boat. Present day problems include electronics, but also, as for years, include all manner of mean-spirited devices such as outboard motors.

To top it off, boatyard operators usually contain a wisdom and wit, forged by years of dealing with boat owners. 

They have my respect for this. I hope to be a boatyard operator in a future life.

    Robert Chamberlin lives in Burlington, Vermont. By day he walks to his work as an engineer. By evenings,  weekends, and travel, he enjoys art, particularly paintings of all types. These are observations on art and life.
