#marlins words

I told her we were gonna go to the crystal store and then the lake and she was genuinely confused when I picked her up and we were in bathing suits.

“I thought we were just gonna look at the lake”

So tag game, what does summer feel/sound/look like to you?

For me it’s long work days, getting Thai food for lunch, napping in the wheelhouse and sticking to the vinyl cover on the cot.

Tyler’s captain, I stocked the freezer on the boat with ice cream and bought the good coffee- there’s a steady supply of honey wheat pretzels and trail mix for our snacking requirements.

Cycling to work instead of driving, keeping a fishing pole on the boat for between trips and at the end of the night. Bathing suit in my work bag and jumping off the stern after work.

Spending my days off cooking in the sun on the lake with my best friend, cooler tied to the floaty and stocked with seltzers.

Bottles of tanning oil in every bag I own so I’m always prepared.

Living off of fresh fish and summer vegetables and loving every second of it.

Too many words

Too many nautical terms

Rules of the road is burned into my eye lids

My chest hurts
