If an old boat could talk, what would it say? Quite a lot!
Over three years, Dad built an 18- foot wooden boat in our tiny backyard. When finished, he attached an 85-horsepower Johnson outboard to it. We used that old boat on countless trips for the next few decades.
As the youngest child, I enjoyed a special bond with my Dad. Since I came along much later than my siblings, Dad and I shared many adventures in that wooden boat. Of all things outdoors, Dad mostly loved duck hunting.
