Beautifully written, William. Sad that we outlive so many of our loved one and have only memories of moments in the sun to keep us company.

Hopefully that boat won't be left out there unused for too long. Better to either sell it, give it away or rent it out if you don't feel you will use it. Perhaps there is some magic in that old pontoon boat and it will work for the next couple who uses it too. I love to drift upon the water...it is about the most peaceful thing in the world to me.
Take care,
Sherry

A very powerful nostalgic piece, William - but at least we old timers have some marvelous memories.
