Boats either anchored near us or moving by

Ian doesn't even have to travel these days to indulge in boat watching.

Sitting in our cockpit we can see:

Mono hulls of every description - ketches, sloops, cutters, luggers, schooners, yawls, three masted schooners, brigantine - you name it, it is here.

There is a 120 foot cutter in the marina which is royal blue and white and absolutely shines!!  As the Americans would say, it ooozes southern money or the Brits would say - it oozes old money.  At night there is a light on each of the four spreaders - lit up like a Christmas tree. 

Catamarans of every size - power catamarans and sailing catamarans.  One very, very huge one is PURPLE. 

Trimarans - one very, very huge white one, among the others.

Rubber duckies - as well as the usual ones - there are really huge ones with WAVE RAFTING on the side - takes tourists out for the day.  There usually leave at about 8.30 am and arrive back here at sunset.

Dragon boat racing, wind sailing, parasailing.

As well as this a Tiger Moth plane does his acrobats right over our heads each day.
