when your mum doesn't want you to
go into the family "business"
She's not ready for this
the water
I'll be with her
Mom
wheel than all of us
She'll be fine
the title of that boat
Any of these boats
No
they're not
Finish shipping out the galley
boat-to-boat transfer has to
be fast
of hands I can get
She's a rookie going
out at night on
a rushed pickup
She's not a child
She's a grown woman
What she doesn't have
believes in her
is a kill switch
You're blind to her
You always have been
She's not like the boys
She's smarter than they
are
She's smarter than we are
That's a bad thing
They're controllable
That's why I didn't
want her in the business
What if she liked it
If she was good
Guess what
She is
Ready
Let's go
