Old Lady

Even though the Husky is 34 years old now, she looks as if she's brand new with her fresh painted decks. Maybe I wrote it before but there is an old sailors poem about ships, women and paint.

We always call a ship a "she" and not without a reason.
For she displays a well-shaped knee regardless of the season.
She scorns the man whose heart is faint and doesn't show him pity.
And like a girl she needs the paint to keep her looking pretty.
