The fog’s just lifting. Throw off your bow line, throw off your stern. You head out to South channel past Rocky Neck, Ten pound island. Past Niles Pond where I skated as a kid. Blow your horn and throw a wave to the lighthouse keeper’s kid on Thatcher Island. Then the birds show up, black-backs, herring gulls, big dump ducks. The sun hits you, head North, open up to 12, steamin’ now. The guys are busy, you’re in charge. You know what? You’re a goddamn swordboat captain. Is there any thing better in the world?
