A Boat with a Tale

There’s something whimsically candid about the inscription on this boat. While the words themselves seem lighthearted, they tell of a man who has weathered the storm of a divorce and now must face the aftermath. The division of property is a common and often contentious part of divorce proceedings, and this boat’s name encapsulates that reality in a simple phrase.

In a divorce, assets must often be divided, and in many states in the U.S., this is done through either community property or equitable distribution laws. It seems this boat’s owner received the vessel in the settlement and marked it as a reminder of his loss.
