For Fine Dining on the Hard…
C.E. Grundler
Rainy Sunday afternoon? Working on the boat, yet again fighting to forcefully remove excessive amounts of illogically applied caulking from odd regions of a leaky cabin? Don’t let the damp, bitter weather, the skinned knuckles, splinters and heat-gun burns get you down! Come, sit in The Boat in the Shed and enjoy gourmet dining at its finest while basking in the warm glow of space heaters and drop-lights.
Enjoy a mouth-watering meal of fine wild-caught Alaskan smoked salmon, crisp, spicy radishes and fresh vine-ripened tomatoes, followed by a desert of sliced Rome apples and Peruvian dark chocolate, all prepared with only the finest of genuine imported Japanese utility knife blades and served on a genuine vintage mahogany boat stool. Sip Monkey-Picked Oolong tea prepared in a hotpot and served in insulated travel cups. Admire the authentic ‘boat under restoration’ ambiance, surrounded by the genuine plywood cabin sole, galley-as-workbench, plastic drop-cloths and everywhere you turn, tools, tools, tools!
Listen to the rain drum on the shed roof as you consider the work that lies ahead and contemplate how someday, eventually, all this will actually once again resemble a boat. Savor the flavors of the fine cuisine while you dream of being afloat and traveling lazily to far off destinations, like New York Harbor and Sandy Hook. As a special touch, every half-hour or so, feel the soothing vibrations and hear tools rattle as the ground beneath the boat shakes with each passing freight train. If you’re lucky, you might even see trains on both the northbound and southbound lines pass simultaneously. Twice the vibration for double the fun!
