What do the simple folk do?

I remember going to see Camelot in the theater for the first time. I remember watching my brother standing up and yelling "Run boy, run."
Grand dreams of a life greater than the small person that we are and dreams of what we could be. The young boy listened to the tales of Camelot. Mesmerized by the tales he was sent out to tell the stories to all. For one brief shining moment...
But the tale started with a boy, a dreamer, and ended with a memory. Love gained, honor earned, a brief shining moment of beauty.
We want to spread the story of independence, of the beauty of living on the ocean, of independence from foreign oil, but the reality is that we don't have enough money to have enough food for one more day. We need a miracle. We need the one brief shining moment. Please, if you have an ear to hear us, if you want to share our dream, be our sponsor, be our Merlin, gives us the strength to pull the sword from the stone and live.

Death of a Thousand Cuts

Depression sets in. The engine still doesn't work, the wiring is failing, a dozen tiny failures are accumulating and multiplying. I love being on the boat, but having no money to fix anything...I have no idea what to do anymore.
