“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” –Mark Twain

Just a dream involving an old image and an Enya song...

this fly decided to take the scenic boat ride instead of his wings...

on the Menai Strait.

Early morning sightseers on the Western Belle Ullswater and fantastic light putting a golden glow on the lake and surrounding hills

Numerous sail boats patrol the Pacific Ocean from just off the shore of Santa Barbara, California. This one had a particular weird vibe for me even when I was snapping the shutter. The light and horizon felt a little mystical.

 

I hope you are all doing well out there. It's been a bumpy ride for me lately as life keeps throwing me curve balls. Here's to keeping on swinging hoping to put one into play.

SAIL-In parade Sail Amsterdam 2015

 

The green tall ship at the front is the Alexander von Humboldt II (too ‘Alex-2’) from Germany.

Behind with the huge flag is the ARC Gloria from Columbia.

 

Since its first edition in 1975, SAIL Amsterdam has grown to become the largest public event in the Netherlands and the largest free nautical event in the world.

Every five years, in excess of 600 ships navigate along the North Sea Canal (the Sail-In or Parade of Sail) before mooring in and around the IJhaven in Amsterdam. The ninth edition of SAIL Amsterdam took place from 19 to 23 August 2015.

This is one of my fav sunset shots from Tenerife. Not sure why, just something about it.

I think I’ll start an “ Abandoned Boat Yard.” This one comes with all that nautical equipment... a ladder to get out.

Sailor off the west coast of France. June'15

Il tempo che ci è concesso di vivere è troppo breve per essere sprecato come una cosa da poco, i valori in cui crediamo devono trovare il loro giusto cammino. Occorre il coraggio di prendere una decisione e puntare la barca verso il destino.

****************************************************************************************

The tall ship Schooner Jolly II Rover was designed by Naval Architect Meritt Walter as a mercenary vessel and was built in 1994 by Bock Marine of Beaufort, North Carolina. The Rover’s hull is constructed out of steel and at 80′ long with her trademarks sails, topmast and square rig she is a magnificent sight under sail as well as sitting quietly dockside.

 

The amazing Schooner Jolly II Rover is proudly owned by Bill Malone and is operated out of Key West’s Historic Seaport. He purchased the Jolly II Rover in 2003 to fulfill a lifelong dream of operating a classic, square rigged, topsail schooner.

 

At the time of purchase, the Jolly Rover was in Fort Myers, Florida. With the help of enthusiastic friends, Bill sailed the Jolly Rover back to his adopted home of New Orleans. With his new team, “The Pirates of Lake Pontchartrain” he offered day and evening sails on Lake Pontchartrain with daily sailing trips, sunset sails and sailing charters.

 

Several years later you could say that fate intervened. Hurricane Katrina passed through New Orleans and blew the Jolly II Rover back to Florida where the tall ship belongs – among the traditional sailing ships, both mercenary & merchant, of the Historic Seaport of Key West.
