a boat for a beer

This contributor to the Voices for the Lake exhibit at ECHO responded to the prompt: Think about when you felt connected to water in your community. Tell us about that memory…

my dad has bean sail since i was 6 . the first boat he owned was an old boat that hardly floated and was ready to sink and that was what happend after a storm the hawl was cracking apart and it was taking on water so he took it out of the water and sold it . the ironic part was that the price for the boat was one case of good beer(only after him made the trade off did he realize that the beer was horrible)
