The caption read, "Holidaymakers taking tea on their boat on the Norfolk Broads, where the season is in full swing.".
In retrospect, celebrating their birthday with a cruise on Jack's boat was not the best idea the FreakAngels ever had...
I'm debating whether to change Luke's hair from the Brickforge Hero Hair, to the Lego Joker hair (which I'll spray paint black), which is why his hair is green here. Mark has a police riot shield, for no adequately explained reason.

Old school toys can still hold some fascination. Two cheap bottles of bubbles enchant sisters in Santa Monica, CA.
Spectators and volunteers – ashore and afloat – during the 2015 Weymouth Christmas day Harbour swim. Photos of all the races are in separate albums. From a collection of photographs taken at the 2015 Weymouth Harbour Christmas Day
Swim organised by Weymouth & Portland Lions Club. The weather was very wet and windy but that did not deter over 300 swimmers and hundreds of spectators.
The “Star of India,” a three-masted bark, is the oldest iron-hulled merchant ship afloat. Built on the Isle of Man, Great Britain, she was launched in 1863 and christened Euterpe. The Trans-Pacific trade from 1871-1898 resulted in the Euterpe circumnavigating the earth twenty-one times, stopping in San Francisco in 1873 and 1883. She was purchased by the Alaska Packers Association to service the salmon canneries in Alaska, leaving each season from Alameda during 1902-1923, Euterpe was renamed Star of India. The Star of India continues to sail the Pacific Ocean as an active reminder of early California’s maritime commerce.
Location: Docked at 1306 North Harbor Drive, San Diego
USS Constitution is a wooden-hulled, three-masted heavy frigate of the United States Navy. Named by President George Washington after the Constitution of the United States of America, she is the world's oldest commissioned naval vessel afloat.[Note 1] Launched in 1797, Constitution was one of six original frigates authorized for construction by the Naval Act of 1794 and the third constructed. Joshua Humphreys designed the frigates to be the young Navy's capital ships, and so Constitution and her sisters were larger and more heavily armed and built than standard frigates of the period. Built in Boston, Massachusetts, at Edmund Hartt's shipyard, her first duties with the newly formed United States Navy were to provide protection for American merchant shipping during the Quasi-War with France and to defeat the Barbary pirates in the First Barbary War.
Constitution is most famous for her actions during the War of 1812 against Great Britain, when she captured numerous merchant ships and defeated five British warships.
Constitution's stated mission today is to promote understanding of the Navy's role in war and peace through educational outreach, historic demonstration, and active participation in public events. As a fully commissioned US Navy ship, her crew of 60 officers and sailors participate in ceremonies, educational programs, and special events while keeping the ship open to visitors year round and providing free tours. The officers and crew are all active-duty US Navy personnel and the assignment is considered special duty in the Navy. Traditionally, command of the vessel is assigned to a Navy Commander. Constitution is berthed at Pier 1 of the former Charlestown Navy Yard, at one end of Boston's Freedom Trail.
...by now probably sunk. These boats of plastic bottles used to ply the waters carrying passengers from one shore to the other. Recycling what we have discarded. Making do with waste.
Honestly, it's all I could think of once I saw these buoys... how appropriate!
Every time I lay my head down at night, I think, "just stay afloat" and dammit if we aren't doin a good job!
The recent cold snap in Brighton and Hove has added another dimension to the familiar. The Bruce Williams 'Kiss Wall' suddenly becomes more obvious. Hamish Black's 'Afloat' - or what many refer to as 'The Donut' stands in stark contrast to its surroundings. And under the pier nature sets out to prove nobody does it better with a divine dsplay of icicles.

A buoy floats placidly in the marina in Marigot, the French capital of Saint-Martin on a beautiful late-summer day.
Although our ship docked on the Dutch side of the Island, we took a cheap local bus to the Fench side for lunch at a little expoloring. The French side seemed much more relaxed, and Sam was thrilled at the chance to use her French.
We ate at a little restaurant in the Marina -- it was peaceful and lovely.
I have four or five ideas that just keep floating around and I want to kind of just let one - like a beautiful butterfly, let it land somewhere.
