Some Nice water Craft in the marinas

For this mornings post I will share a few shots of Boats in the Marinas on Popes Island here in New Bedford

Starting with this Dock beside the Fathoms Restaurant

As I understand it this first pier is for boaters who want to dine in their restaurant and has no charge for docking there its a first come first serve kind of parking spot

Next up we have some boats in one of the marinas on Popes Island at sunrise, some real nice water craft docked here at the time I took this photo, Most of these docks are now empty as most of the pleasure boats have been taken out of the water for the winter months

I always remember a couple of sayings a couple of the friends I knew who had boats would often say Namely

"Boats are holes in the water, into which you throw money"

and

“the happiest day of a boat owner’s life is the day they buy the boat and the day they sell it.”

Now I am sure there is some truth to both of these sayings, but also the same people still had their boats and spent time out on the water fishing or sailing and clearly also had many happy days out on the water.

But i am sure the costs of maintenance add up quickly, not to mention dock fees which I imagine in some places must be crazy high, I know the Popes Marina where some of these shots were take and claim to be a very affordable marina charge a few of $90 per foot with a minimum of 30 foot fee for seasonal rental of a spot on their piers for some I guess thats a lot for others not to bad at all, its all a matter of perspective

Have you ever thought about buying a boat?

Personally I have never thought about it myself, partly because I am happy walking by the water myself, partly because my wife would never get on it as she has a fear of being out on the water, and partly because I guess I have never had enough money to but one LOL

But I have given thought on my morning walks by the piers as to if I was to ever get a boat which type would it be, now in my younger days I would probably have said a speed boat to go racing across the water and to get to where I wanted to be out on the water as quick as possible.
But these days I see things differently I think if I was ever to consider buying a boat or even renting one on some vacation I would want a sail boat, the peace and calm I imagine it must be on a yacht sailing on a nice day must be such a special feeling.

So a second question

If you were (or have) bought a boat what type would you want?

Boats of course come in all sizes and styles, like these two, the yellow one is eye catching the the white one looks quite plush

Awesome shots! Have you ever heard this one? (B)ust (O)ut (A)nother (T)housand. My buddies dad has a large boat he can take out on the bay, but he hardly ever does because he can't afford the gas for it. It sits in the harbor most of the time! Kind of sad.

Nice post buddy.. you are really an amazing photographer.. do you work in the marine

Thanks so kind of you to say

Yeah .. every time I look at your display picture I do see the face of a military personnel in there...lol.one a soldier is forever a soldier @tattoodjay..

I am expecting my Christmas gift from you 😃😀😉 @tattoodjay

Yes I guess that is true, I am still in contact with many of my army buddies even thought is almost 35 years since i left the army

Wow, those colours are amazing, JJ 😍 and so much money is swimming on the water 🤑
If I could afford a boat it would be a sailboat, large enough to live comfortably on it with the whole family ... and the cats 😺

Beautiful scenery with perfect color contrast, also the photos you share are so soft and very comfortable to look at. 🤗🤗🥰🥰

Thanks so much I went with a more painterly/soft feel for these one s;)

🥰🥰🤗🤗

I constantly walk past the fishing store and study the boats presented there, this is a good thing)
!BBH

me to I find them so interesting even though I have no thoughts of buying one ;)

I think that only those who, like Noah, decided to build their own ark do not think about buying a boat)

A Small Fortune of money laying out there, each graceful in the early morning light offering great captures through the lens once again JJ.

One could imagine sailing between fjords up in the North on a comfortable cruising yacht, getting up close and personal with nature.

All a dream not knowing anything about living on the water, costs involved or navigation.

Perhaps dry land and looking at them floating past may be the safer way to enjoy.

Sailing the world in good weather conditions must be such a fun experience, my wife gets seasick so not something she would want to try LOL

!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Definitely something family all have to enjoy at the expense of the sport, living on water would hold pros and cons.

You use a pumpkin patch.
