Popes Island Marina
For my last Wednesday Walk post I shared some shots from a morning visit to POpes Island where is was grey and moody, and I thought i would follow it up with a nice post of the area, well this time on the Jettys at Popes Island Marina
Normally only paying members with boats docked here have access to the jettys slips, piers or whatever they are called, but a while back they hosted the replica ship the Nao Trinidad, and when it was docked there access was allowed, I got some shots of the ship, but also of other ships/boats yachts docked there and thats what I am sharing today
this is looking back towards the building you enter through to get out on the marina

Lots of nice boats docked here, sure lots of money has been spent on them
Which makes me think of a few jokes I have heard from boat owners
You know what BOAT stands for, right? Bring Out Another Thousand.
Or how about this classic, the definition of the word boat – noun – 1. a hole in the water into which one throws money.
That all said I am sure it must be nice having a boat and being able to head out ontthe water whenever one wants
I havent been to P0pes island for a couple of weeks, but witht he temps starting to drop I am sure many have been taken out of the water by now
