She Floats

Her name is Miss Gwen, and we launched her at Bladensburg Waterfront Park on Saturday at about quarter to ten in the morning.

Dawn took all the pictures, bless her.

She rolled down into the water as easy as you please.

She touches water for the first time, August 1, 2020 9:44 a.m.

I fumbled around, trying to learn how to row her. I’m going to need a lot of practice.

I have much to learn.

But she and I both survived our first day on the water together. May we have many more such days.

Dawn gave me this shirt a while back. It reads, “I’m the Captain. I make ship happen.”
