Things I love – Vacation Edition

There’s not a lot to say about boats. I have been on a few. I have seen a bit more than that. I really like the idea of glass bottomed boats but I’m not sure I’d feel save enough to ride in one. I’m terrified of cruise ships because they look very tall and unstable. I like freighters because they seem more structurally sound and I think it would be cool to travel around the world just bumming passage on them.

The Thomas Edison Inn offered an amazing view of freights, sailboats, pilot boats, coast guard, tour boats and the occasional skidoo. It was amazing to sit and watch these monstrous freighters power through the river right outside our balcony. There were some, like the great green Pochard below, that looked too big. Too big to fit in the river. Too big to fit under the bridge. But since we heard no crashing, I’m assuming it fit under the bridge and headed up Lake Huron.
