Our boatyard has two cranes, a big one and a little one. They can lift enormous boats out of the water. The bottom is washed and the water is filtered and then the boats are set down to be worked on, all over the boatyard.
When my kids were little they had field trips from the school to the boatyard. My daughter’s class had a trip to see the crane because one of the parents works as a crane operator. All the second graders learning about the boatyard: fabulous.
The boat is being returned to the water. This is for Thursday doors. Our boatyard has two cranes. This is the smaller one. The crane operator is in the back, leaning out of the door just a little to see. Two other workers help encourage cars and pedestrians like me to stay out of the way….
One node title on the everything2.com website is “For a boat of white bone, and we three“. Three different writers have written their interpretation of the title. I love that title and this photograph is like a dream of the title….
For photrablogger’s Mundane Monday #108, a truck being loaded on to the Port Townsend to Coupeville ferry. It is mundane but amazing too, packing the vehicles in for a boat ride and with the narrow clearance at the top!
For photrablogger’s Mundane Monday Challenge #105, an accidental and magical photograph, turning and spinning. I don’t think I could catch this one on purpose.
Early morning at the Wooden Boat Festival with the ferry heading from Port Townsend over to Whidby Island. I took this in September 2016, zooming in to catch the ridge of the Cascades and the early light.
I took this in June 2014. I like the mostly blue again and the juxtaposition of different technology and transportation. Threes and thirds and blues and whites…. and the sliver of brown…..
The Wooden Boat Festival is in September. This is from September 2016, early morning, before the festival is in full swing. I am thinking of selling my father’s sailboat, sigh. Slip fees are rising and medicine is such a mess right now…. let go.
But the festival is a delight each year. This year it will be September 8-10.
For Wordless Wednesday.
