Unser Dorfteich ist groß genug für eine Segelregatta
Our village pond is large enough for a sailing regatta
I've posted a day shot of this ship but I feel like the night shot looks interesting. I just found out Galveston is offering day sails to tourist. Checked it out on line and it's $300 dollars a person. So, looks like I won't be going out for a day sail anytime soon.
A survey ship in a slightly foggy St Katherine docks, which is usually filled with luxury yachts, so this boat looked out of place. Or maybe it was never really there??

This image is completely Artificial Intelligences except for the model and the sky. The first thing I found out about AI images is that it's difficult to manipulate the image. This one look fairly life like. On my first attempts the images came out looking cartoonish.
So, the rest of the story on the water issue is. I live outside of town so I'm not on city water. A private company supplies the water for me and most of my neighbors. They were only suppose to take a certain amount of water from the aquifer and for years have been taking more then their allotment. No one said anything because there was plenty of water. But now that water isn't so plentiful it's a big deal, which is why we're in stage 4 of water restrictions and not allowed to water outside.
The fifth image in this series of images I took in and around downtown Toronto. The tall ship Empire Sandy, which runs chartered tours along Toronto's waterfront was originally built as an Englishman/ Larch Deep Sea-class tugboat for war service by the British government in 1943. After the war she served a number of different roles under different names. In the early 1970s she was to be sold for scrap, but fortunately got a new lease on life when she was bought by a new owner who had her completely rebuilt and converted as a three-masted schooner in the style of the 1880s.

Grande Hermine
While the now deceased owner of this vessel never realized much benefit from it, many others have over the years enjoyed watching the slow decay of the ship.
The QEW is a major highway connecting Toronto to Buffalo NY and is heavily traveled given the amount of cross border trade. Heading west on the QEW just past Grimsby, as you crest a hill the ship comes into sight and for a moment, it appears to almost intersect the highway. Pretty hard to miss ! The full history of the ship can be found in the link below.
