Madrigal's on her mooring in Center Harbor; the truck's on the hard down the road at Naskeag harbor. Sailed through Naskeag a couple weeks ago, nearly grounding on the sandbar. That truck spent the first 35 years of it's life in West Texas, hence the rustless demeanor.
Trucks, cars, highways, landscape, good writing. "You cannot travel on the path, before you have become the Path itself."
