But while you're out exploring the world, do you ever hang out around marinas or harbors with old boats, such as old wooden fishing vessels, sailboats, tugs and other workboats? If you do, please feel free to post some cool photos of same. I'm a lover of old boats, and I'm not impressed with modern fiberglass margarine tubs.<br /><br />Happy Holidays & Happy New Year!<br /><br />EdEd Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630167212984453112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-55315715201412167282010-12-02T09:00:11.219+01:002010-12-02T09:00:11.219+01:00Your reflections are absolutely beautiful and than...Your reflections are absolutely beautiful and thanks for the intro to James.
