Maine Lobsterboat, 1976 Chevrolet truck

One of the spring rituals was getting our sailboat ready for launching. Scout spends the winter at Bill Grant's boatyard in Sedgwick; when I was slapping on a bottom coat back in June there were still a bunch of lobster boats at the yard, getting ready for action. There's something tuned and form-follows-functional that I admire about the blocky, workaholic lines of the 1976 Chevy truck and the swooping, graceful sheer of a Maine lobsterboat.
