Day 123 – Boats

After a very productive and full day, I stopped at the beach to enjoy the weather for a while. I listened to the sounds of the ocean, let the sun shine down on me and walked along the sandy beach. Afterwards, I was actually headed home for the rest of the day. As I came down the road, I noticed all the boats in the harbor. They were all gone for the winter and it seems like suddenly there are so many now.

So after I got home, I dropped off my items, put on a jacket and went right back out to go enjoy the scene of all the boats. I walked around embracing the cool breeze and beginning of the sunset. I took some pics and thought back on all the times I’ve been boating. I even called my sister and we chatted about when we went years ago with the family.

When we lived in NC, we lived right on the lake- the Marina was next to us so I’m used to seeing boats but there is a distinct difference between lake boats and ocean boats. From my house I see yachts, sail boats, tall boats, fishing boats, speed boats, water taxi’s, cruise ships and even at times oil liners. I just love the variety and love the character it brings to my view.

Thinking about it though, other than the cruises Vinny and I have taken or the ferry to Martha’s Vineyard and Catalina Island in Cali, I have never been boating on an ocean (like a day of boating). Any day boating I’ve done have been in lakes. So, I have added that to my list of things to look into to do this summer- ocean boating!

This was a great intention for my day and once again I am grateful for this blog for making me stop to embrace a part of my day I may not have otherwise. #HGAL
