How about we post some of the pics we feel are rather cool, or just neat places you have been. I do a lot of boating in the summer, so I'll start with some boating/beach pics from last year.
Sail boats leaving Sag Harbor, NY for the late afternoon sail boat race. They total about 40 or so all together. Pretty cool to see them all compete in a 2 mile (end to end) oval around buoys. Some of these boats are surprisingly fast. Wish I had that money.
I launch my little boats here. The gray boat and the white and orange boat (second and third back in the pic) are both owned by Billy Joel. They have his daughters names on the transoms. Bumped into him a few times while launching, and he keeps to himself, walks with a limp, and is not much of a people person, but will lend a hand with a line if asked.
A jetty near Montauk, NY.
When I launch my little 16 foot boat, I have to drive past these behemoths to get out of the marina and into the bay. Talk about being owned.... What is nice is people on the big boats always wave, and we sound the horn and wave back. Boating is a lot like cars... Some people have an attitude towards your make/model, and others are just over all car enthusiasts. Lucky for me, these folks are nice and friendly. Some even invited us on their boat for a tour!
