Ray Pat

Ray Pay nearing Pawtuxet Cove

The other day as we were doing a short sunset cruise out of the cove, Ray Pat came cruising in. I believe that this is a 1955 Chris Craft Commander, a boat I have always loved. When I was about 10 years old I built a model of one of these and it sat on my bedroom shelf for years.  I always pictured Ernest Hemingway out fishing in the Gulf on one of these beautiful boats and dreamed of the day that I would go to sea.
