When I was young, I watched in cutoffs as an elegant fantail yacht anchored down the beach from my grandparents' house. Elegant couples ashore for a picnic there in a private gazebo. We smelled of crab and marsh mud and sunsweat, and imagined the lives of the people we saw from a distance. Long after the ship had glided back upriver and out of sight.
Decades later, I went for a sunset dinner cruise on that same yacht. My life is not the one I imagined then.
