The waters of Burrard Inlet were full of sailboats today on Canada Day and these two had red sails so looked very festive for the occasion. In the background can be seen Lighthouse Park with its lighthouse that is still in use.

I think most people see sailboats and think of a relaxing endeavour, soaking up the sunshine as the soft winds blow, the vessels like immense swans gliding along the water blissfully.
Perhaps that’s actually the case for most folks out on their boats, however, my experience with sailing was quite different. I was only ever on a sailboat a handful of times but each of those were with Barnacle Bill. Bill (his real name) was my father and he bought a sailboat shortly after I was married so sailing wasn’t something with which I grew up. That meant I hadn’t been properly trained to be a sailor and neither had Norm.
Our first time out Dad issued the rules and we were more than willing to learn and abide. Yet as the outing progressed Bill’s barking grew more and more intense.
“Don’t sit there!”
“Grab that line!”
(What line? What do you want me to do with it?)
And so it went.
There seemed to be a very real possibility that we were going to be keelhauled or, at the very least, made to walk the plank. If you ever saw the ‘Friends’ episode where Rachel was trying to teach Joey how to sail you’ll have a clear idea of what I’m trying to describe.
I do know that his high anxiety was his concern for everyone’s safety and thus was quite forgivable but truth be told ever since those experiences I have been quite content to simply get the occasional photograph of a sailboat. :-)

One of the most popular and free things to do here is to watch the sunset on Oahu. The sunsets are magical, and it brings everyone together to end the day.
I think the two big tan coloured feathers on this Mandarin Duck look like a pair of sails. Photographed at Burnaby Lake, near Vancouver.
The video for this is a series of pictures. And I love the song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5GWEGnBk_o
This is one of my fav sunset shots from Tenerife. Not sure why, just something about it.
Halnaker Windmill near Chichester in Sussex, I really cannot remember what time of day we where there but I would say late afternoon by the looks of the light low on the horizon. I think there has been a lot of conservation work done on it since we were there so it`s time for a return visit when we can.
