Cape Dory Haiku

Bill Goldsmith · Post by **Bill Goldsmith** » May 24th, '10, 17:53

To celebrate my late start this season I wrote some cheesy Cape Dory haikus.
Take a stab and add a few of your own!!!

I like Cape Dorys
Good old boats that get you home
But lots of brightwork.

Tiller, wheel, lock shaft?
Mid boom sheeting or end boom?
Varnish or Cetol, teak oil?

Running with the wind
Wing and wing is hard to do
It's in the steering

Diesel fuel, thinner,
Bottom paint and seacock grease,
Topside wax (on/off)

Excellent, Bill.

They taught us well at John Jay High School, didn't they?

Peg Montgomery!
She hated my Joyce paper,
But I love her still.

Sea Hunt is our guy

Our joy and inspiration

Still water runs deep

Water over rail

My Cape Dory cares for me

Twenty Thousand Miles

I'm still refitting. Maybe this year, maybe next spring, we'll be in the water. "She" is the boat, of course, I'm still looking for a rich widow with a boat slip! :o)

As Freedom beckons

The boat is still high and dry

She waits for me there

My boat...my boat!
Can't live without her,
she heals my soul.

Sails fill and deck heels.
Helm to the point of balance.
Now she's in "the groove."

Money disappears.
Into a black hole it goes.
Never to be seen.

Where else but this board
Would the members write haiku?
Sailors creating!

Yay! We launched today!
Wow, Mast is stepped already!
It was wicked hot

Bilge is nice and dry
Electronics all hooked up
Now to bend on sails

Yikes this is too hard.
Don't like poems that don't rhyme.
Typhoon launch next week!

Under cockpit sole.
It's a wonder I still fit.
Forgot my damn wrench.

It slides out of reach
to that final resting place
of wrenches, the bilge.
