Rainy Day Boat Yard Blues

The April 2005 haul out at Colony Wharf in Bellingham was cold, wet, and slow. I admit to being a bit depressed until the rain finally stopped and it warmed up. We got the work done, only three days behind schedule. Man, it feels so good when you are done!

Best thing about it? We shouldn't have to do it again until New Zealand !!

.. Rainy Day Boat Yard Blues ..

My paint won't stick and my mix won't kick,
It is so dang cold and my resin's is getting old,
My hands are like leather, curse this cold wet weather,
Don't wanna be here, but the tropics are near,
Got them rainy day boat yard blues.

The jel coat crack caused by a nasty wack
With a log last year, asleep at the wheel dear?
Now the cracks a void, so grinding I can't avoid
Now there's a hole in the bow, and that's not allowed
Got them rainy day boat yard blues.

My home is up a ladder, and I'm getting sadder
Dirt and grit everywhere, and that's not fair
The furnace went boom, and exhaust filled the room
Its cold and wet, the tropics no nearer yet
Got the rainy day boat yard blues

Working long hours, not smelling any flowers,
Muscles they ache, been weeks since a break,
Don't wanna a normal job, quit the 9-5 mob
Dreams don't come easy, and I'm a getting queasy
Got the rainy day boat yard blues

ow the suns coming out, and we're shaking all doubt,
Karma for the machine, get her all shiny and clean,
Fix everything in sight, that's a real delight
Gonna get Sal off the ground, gonna run those tropics down,
Splash her in the water, girl we really got her
Shaking those rainy day boat yard blues..
