Dinghies Waiting
October 2009
The life of a dinghy is usually one of endless patience. It is a life of waiting, of playing second fiddle.
The dictionary is relatively kind to the humble dinghy:
din⋅ghy
Pronunciation [ding-gee]
–noun, plural -ghies.
1. any small boat designed as a tender or lifeboat, esp. a small ship’s boat, rowed, sailed, or driven by a motor.
Laura has been known to remark about the pleasing hull form of some small craft, so it is no surprise that her eye was recently drawn to a group of waiting dinghies at Whittaker Creek:
| Laura Turgeon and her husband Gil Fontes live in Oriental. When they are not out looking at boats Laura and Gil are often seen with drawing instruments or paint brushes in hand. More of Laura's work can be found at her site LauraTurgeon.com. |
