Some days the road is rocky and tough, uneven and filled with deep ruts.
But those are the days, when, as some would say, a boat wife can show she's got guts.
The kids may be screaming, dog barking, door ringing - you feel at the end of your rope -
and this is just when, your boat family and friends, remind you again there is hope!
Some call us bitchy, some call us clique-y; they don't understand what it's like.
Waiting for port calls, to get just ONE phone call, for months and months at a time.
The life of a boat wife is never so easy - in and out, in and out, underway...
the part about being a boat wife I love, is the friends that you make 'long the way!
So here's to the boat wives - a remarkable lot! There is something quite special indeed -
in your strength and your loyalty, devotion to duty, you've created your own unique breed!
And here's to the boat guys depending on you, while they're gone so far out of reach -
defending, protecting, and drug intercepting - to keep us all safe on the beach!
