IT WAS A FOGGY, FOGGY NIGHT

I saw this shot from my deck the other day and immediately thought of The Doors song, RIDERS ON THE STORM.

Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm

Into this house we're born

Into this world we're thrown

Like a dog without a bone

A actor out alone

Riders on the storm.

The rest of the lyrics are rather strange, regardless, the title seems to fit this photo even if the words don't. Any thoughts?

ANYONE SEEN MY ARGYLL SOX

This is one of the Super Yachts that happens to be in port at the moment. Her name is Argyll. I really can't tell you anything about her. She stands out from the other yachts at this marina. I shot this right into the rising Sun, so it is a little too light. But, she is beautiful and ready to go anywhere your heart desires. There is a constant ebb and flow of these yachts in our city. Virtually all ships of this type pass through here sooner or later for repairs or updating. What may be noteworthy to you, this is one of the smaller ones in the marina at the moment. Ah the rich, they really aren't like you or me.

RUBY PRINCESS

This is the newest ship in The Princess Cruise Line. She is just a year young and cost over $400 million dollars (US). She is 951 ft (290m) in length, has 19 decks and can do 23 knots (43km/h). With a crew of 1200, your ever wish can be met. 

She cruises The Caribbean in winter and does the transatlantic route to Europe in the spring. You can set sail from here to Barcelona on April 11 and/or return from Venice on October 11. 

All the ships in the Princess line have live webcams on their bridges. You may follow this link to their site and page down to BRIDGE CAM  and have a look. And one more thing, to get a better idea of the size of the Ruby Princess, click the above image and look directly under the bow. 

TRAFFIC JAM

Our streets are full of cars and congestion. One way to circumvent this is to go by boat. A lot of people do this. The result is a water traffic jam "Ft. Lauderdale" style. How to get around now? Keep watching!

Unusual Homes

Our city has many unusual homes. This one has a railroad car and a boat. While I am sure there is a story to go along with it, I have yet to find out what it is. There are no railroad tracks, so I imagine it had to "trucked" in. Perhaps it came by barge.
