Young couple appeared to be returning into harbour at the close of day, but minutes later they made way after purchasing a case of beer. My guess is they lived or were staying close by, as small craft are not equipped to travel safely after dark.

I took some nicer photos of her, but she liked this one. We were out on the Pacific with the Sail Maui group, enjoying a sunset cruise. Funny enough, the candy clouds coming in from the east took all the attention away from the sunset, even the crew was excited to see them.
Until next time, try to make someone smile. B
Are you getting tired? I’m getting really inpatient all because I’ve been waiting for a good weather to go out for some time now and it doesn’t look like it’s coming anytime soon. In the meantime I’ve been keeping my self busy with other things but what I really need is to go out and shoot all day. There is nothing more rewarding than getting to photograph Chicago on a days like this. What do you think?

Bridge Lake (historically known as Greater Fish Lake) is a lake in the Interlakes District of the South Cariboo region of the Interior of British Columbia, Canada. It is the source of Bridge Creek which runs in a curving course west and then northeast to Canim Lake via the town of 100 Mile House. The lake is approximately 16 km2 in area (including the area of several islands and rocks in the lake, the largest of which is named Long Island and is 1136 m in elevation. It is located 560 km north of Vancouver and around 140 km northwest of Kamloops in the Interlakes District close to the Little Fort Highway (BC Highway 24). It and its neighbours Sheridan Lake and Lac des Roches are the largest lakes along the Interlakes Highway.
The community of Bridge Lake (pop. 500) and Bridge Lake Centennial Provincial Park are located at the eastern end of the lake. Just east of Bridge Lake is Lac des Roches while just west of it is Sheridan Lake; the three are the largest lakes in the district between Canim Lake to the north and Bonaparte lake to the southeast. The basin of the Bonaparte River is just south of Bridge Lake, in the form of its tributary the Rayfield River.. Wikipedia

I recently heard an interesting anecdote about the origins of the word 'posh'. It apparently stems from the marine industry, and is a mnemonic for 'port out, starboard home'. This used to be printed on tickets of passengers on P&O (Peninsula and Orient) passenger vessels that travelled between UK and India back in the day.
Britain and India are both in the northern hemisphere so the port (left-hand side) berths were mostly in the shade when travelling out (easterly) and the starboard ones when coming back. So the best and most expensive berths were 'port out, starboard home' - POSH, hence the term.
Drop me a note in the comment section if you have heard this, or any other explanation of posh seats/cabin.

The America 2.0, the Adirondack III, the Western Union, the Appledore and many other tall ships are credited with helping
to keep Key West's maritime traditions alive for years to come.
The 'WHEN and IF' is a beautiful addition to the Key West Fleet!

*[left-double-click for a closer-look - sea-sunset vertical - seagull]
*[Ok, so we all know that it can be extremely hard to shoot directly into the sun, which usually results in an unattractive 'blown-out' sun that quite frankly is hard to look at! So many people on Flickr do this, even I do it at times, and it usually looks like crap! We really should stop posting them. - So, what I sometimes do (this photo case-in-point) is to dial exposure way down, almost to the point of darkness, to get that halfway decent sunset image. I'm not saying all of them, but one or two, and then I wait for the sunlight to change. It's pretty hard to get that sun ball drop photo that looks decent. Try this easy method and it just might help, it does for me. Thank you for looking]

I watched her as she circled the harbor, with the very intense
sunset sky magnificently changing, minute by colorful minute.
Each shot I took of her was quite different in color and light,
constantly and methodically changing. I knew that on her
last turn to Port I would have her at the perfect spot and at
the perfect time. Fun captures. Only problem: I love them all.
