Sitting by the bay on a dock, except we were walking not sitting. We spent the early afternoon at the boat on Saturday. Relaxing and organizing for the summer. We didn’t take the boat out (ran out of time) because we were heading off to Baltimore. The wind was pretty stiff as well, which makes things not quite as much fun. Our marina rebuilt the fuel dock over the winter months and did a wonderful job. The new area is wonderful.
We decided to walk around the docks instead just to see the other boats that are in the same Marina. Plus it is fun just to see what other people do with their boats. Plus it is always fun to see the cool older boats. The older sailboats are always cool. I love the beautiful wood, and just the way sailboats look. I would love to have a sailboat, but I am not coordinated enough to do all the balancing required for managing a sailboat.
When I was younger, I used to try with sailboats all the time. I know that my skills aren’t up to the task. I spent more time righting the boat than I did sailing. It is a sad commentary on my overall coordination. I was good with a rowboat or a canoe. In fact, I could dump a canoe, right it and be back on course in a very short time. I dumped a sailboat, and it took me a ½ hour to get the boat back up. So probably sailboats are probably not in my future.
Thanks! I am glad you liked the pictures.
Thank you! I am happy you like it!
Adore old sailboats and your memories are very interesting, as always!!! And the pictures are awesome!!!

Otis actually wrote that song while sitting on a dock in Lake Mendota near Madison Wisconsin. My grandfather’s favorite restaurant actually was right by the dock!
Ah, how awesome, thank you for that tidbit of info! Cool beans.
I was thinking about doing a music quiz on the obscure where was a song written…
Beautiful photo and post!!!
