They were parts of our livelihood in those lean mean seventies, though as children we thought of them as playthings. From October to February they hibernated, dripping dry after months of wave and rain, their floorboards stacked indoors nearby, their oars resting like folded arms. I often imagined them talking to one another in the dark — trading stories of sudden squalls, of rocks struck in shallow bays, of whispered confidences between gillie and angler, of trout that flashed silver in the half-light before lying still on the ribs beneath the boards.
