Papa said it best? Back when the sun shone on a regular basis I fell in love with Telco, a lovely little tugboat built in 1937 that lives here at the Pier. Funny to think of having a crush on a boat, but by God she's sweet. Got to motor across the bay one afternoon, dreaming of lying out on the deck, mint julep in hand, or diving off the bow in a woolen bathing suit. Suddenly, next summer doesn't seem so far away.
