Everything happens in St. Claire. . .

552
. . .eventually.

553
Tell me about Catherine.

554
Well. . .

555
. . .we grew up together.

556
She was kind of. . . .

557
People were drawn to her
by her smile. . .

558
. . .her enthusiasm.

559
She could brighten up
a whole room. . .

560
. . .whole town.

561
I called her Saint Catherine.

562
How did she die?

563
She was ill.

564
She was fragile.

565
I'm sorry.

566
It's all right.

567
It's okay.

568
Have you lived here
your whole life?

569
Not yet.

570
This place. . .

571
. . .used to be all dirt roads
and marsh grass.

572
Really?

573
My mom hated it here.

574
She took me away to Virginia
when I was ten.

575
But I came back when I was 1 6. . .

576
. . .and never left.

577
I missed it.
I missed the smell of it. . .

578
. . .working on the water. . .

579
. . .missed my dad.

580
The quiet.

581
The wind.

582
The wind?
You call that wind?

583
The wind. . .

584
. . .in Chicago in the wintertime. . .

585
. . .you walk with your back to it
or it cuts your face.

586
Takes your breath away.

587
We got the oldest oak tree. . .

588
. . .in both Carolinas.

589
You try and top that.

590
I just want to be close.

591
Watch the dust.

592
She took a look at my plans. . .

593
. . .and never said a word.

594
A week later she had it on canvas.

595
This was going to be the first.

596
Designing and building
my own boats. . .

597
. . .that was the plan.

598
This was going to be
my signature boat. . .

599
. . .the one we'd never sell.

600
And when will you finish it?
