Smells like teen spirit

Funny thing, your nose. I only have to smell fibreglass and I'm back in Crystal Palace at the Dinghy Exhibition. I'm 12 or 13, Dave's a couple of years younger, and we're filling plastic bags with every dinghy folder we can get our hands on.
I've been varnishing the 16m2 and the smell has me back in the garage in West Horsley with any one of a number of wooden boats, Optimist, Gull, National 12. Everything changes but varnish is still varnish.
