Yesterday I had a nice ride down to the harbour again. After a week of cold and rain, it was at least partly sunny and somewhat warmer, so off I went. Beautiful day for a ride!
This boat, the W.H. Wheeler, looked like it needed a little work.
Across the harbour I could see several fishermen lined up along the shore.
And in my search for new and different pictures from the harbour, I bring you floating leaves.
The Benjamin-Charles had been moved in to a dock, presumably to have some work done.
And I noted the boat lift in use; it's the season for lifting sailboats out of the water before that water freezes.
The area behind the marina, just for winter boat storage, often has 6" of water, especially after the storms of November. They've been building a bigger berm and (I think) raising the surface level. They've certainly found some big boulders to use!
Moving along to the other popular fishing area, the bay was beautiful.
I got down into the parking lot and passed the three amigos on my way to Fred Raper park.
There, the view over the bay toward Cape Rich was just beautiful.
And almost the entire distance of the photo above, was a long line of gulls sitting on the water. I've very little idea why they'd be gathered like that - perhaps the currents today, or an upwelling?
Yes, a beautiful day for a ride.
ReplyDeleteLovely selection of photographs.
All the best Jan
Sure looks like a beautiful day. Like the floating leaves photo. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking us along, FG. It was a lovely day for a wander by the bay.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope we can get back to the area next summer.
ReplyDeleteAh, those photos lift my soul, beautiful blues, boats in or out of the water, and gulls galore.
ReplyDeleteNice that your weather changed for the better. I like the cloud photos best.
ReplyDeleteIt was a gorgeous day for a ride! I hope you didn't have the strong winds we had in our area. It could have made it quite cool near the water.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are wonderful! Love the amigos and the gulls. How comical to see the row of them on the bay water.
Wonderful pictures! I love the birds and the sunny skies. :-)
ReplyDeletethe perfect day for a ride, such beautiful images!! beautiful clouds and boats, lovely images!!
ReplyDeleteI love the gulls!
ReplyDeleteSunny days, although not today!
It is a beautiful day and your are sharing wonderful shots of the harbor. I enjoy your visits there.
ReplyDeleteThe view over the bay: just lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou know, we all understand that restrictions are important at this difficult time. But some of them seem to make no sense at all.
Looks like you had a beautiful day in a very pretty setting.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics and I love the sky in that Cape Rich photo. So important this time of year with our seasons in change to take advantage of any good weather days we are fortunate enough to have. And yes, those Great Lakes November storms will soon be upon us.
ReplyDeleteThe Benjamin and the wheel are fishtugs,my dad owns a fishery with those types of fishing boats
