My Uncle Cap’s memorial service was today, I got to share memories with my aunt and beloved cousins.

I never took to sailing, but Cap loved boats and being on the water as did his father, and my cousins and brothers. None of us live there now but we were all marked by time spent on Narragansett Bay.

I finally really learned how to tie a bowline knot just a couple of days before the memorial service, and I will surely never tie one again without thinking of Uncle Cap and of my Granddaddy.
