When did Adam and Saskia have a boat and how did the boat make them feel?

Adam and Saskia bought a boat the summer after he came home. It was a good boat. It was a 16-footer. When they took it out on the lake, they became the people they imagined themselves to be. Adam was unbroken. Saskia was afloat on life. Zoe laughed as she was pulled behind the boat. On the boat, they felt like life was okay.
