What makes your old boat good?
That is indeed the question, isn’t it? From your point of view, what is it that makes your old boat good? Why are you loyal to this boat? Why have you invested so much of your own blood, sweat, and tears into its maintenance and upkeep? Why do you choose to make it better as time goes on, rather than ignoring it as it deteriorates? Why would you rather be sailing than just about anyplace else on earth?

Tell us what makes your old boat good in 400 to 750 words, and your response may be published in the July 2008 10th anniversary issue of Good Old Boat. We’ll send you some nice things from our ship’s store as prize goodies if your essay is selected.

Not every essay can be published in the magazine, of course, but some of our other favorites will find their way to this newsletter after our informal contest is over. After all, there are just as many answers as there are good old boaters. And every response is entirely valid.
