| Grand old lady of the waterways... the Butch. | |
| Well, she was our boat... an old steel motor vessel. Nothing fancy about her, unless you're a person
who appreciates system redundancy and traveling about
the waterways in a leisurely fashion. I grew up aboard
her, and sure do miss the lifestyle. She's the sort of
boat the old-timers used to cruise aboard, taking their
time to really see the sights. I suppose that sort of
thing is being by-passed in this era of cheap plastic
speedboats, but that's a mistake.... Cruising -- real cruising -- isn't about arriving somewhere fast. It's about the journey, not the destination.
