When I was 20 I moved to Rome with an art school program. I made a boat to navigate down the Tiber River. It was the first time that I had tried making a skin on frame boat, sealed with tar.
My friend Harrison Haynes and I set out from Rome in the morning, thinking that we would float all the way to the ocean.
We drifted and paddled for hours, as the city turned into rolling countryside.
We abandoned the boat by the shore when it started to get dark, still many miles from the sea.
