Very evocative shot, John. I have mixed feelings about cradling a boat in such an exposed position, but I guess they know what they are doing.
Well, I’d say cradling out the pier’s end is better than poppeting.
This boat is obviously waiting for the next storm to self-launch itself back in.
Say what you want about seamanship and safety (I agree, by the way); but I think that this is a masterly crafted photograph that transmits the sadness of season’s end and long winter ahead. Bravo, John!
Thanks Pat, exactly the message I was trying to convey!
Having said that, we rather like the winter and are off for some x-country skiing in the Canadian Rockies tomorrow.
Hi All,
It’s certainly not where I would store our boat!
