Sail boats - Liners - Toy boats - Model boats- Canoes. All kinds of craft that travel on water.

Here is a pontoon boat that took us on a tour of Clear Lake in Riding Mountain National Park.

Boats I think I can do, in fact I will be spoilt for choice.

Herewith one of the many boats that roam around Sydney harbour- this is one of the smaller public transport ferries.



The building in the background also has sails, but does not seem to go anywhere...

A traditional junk at dusk in the harbour'

This is the ferry The Interislaner. It crosses Cook Strait between the North and South Island

In the other photo thread you mentioned that your boat goes downhill. If your boat goes downhill in New Zealand, peggy5, then I can see that Oz's goes uphill in Australia! *chuckle*

Well, since I have not had time to drive up to the lake to get pictures of traditional boats, here is a unique boat -- a gravy boat!



Oh, by the way, it does float in the dishwater!

Ha! I'm laughing out loud (LOL) at the boats going up and down hill!

Here's a tour boat we took when we visited the Channel Islands National Park last March.

Maybe it's the ocean waves, or the tides djsgal!

Or tsunamis. Yikes!

This photo was taken a few years ago a couple of days before Christmas. I may have linked to it back then before we were allowed to display any photos. It's always brought good memories. It was taken while I was sitting with a fellow bike rider on the Basingstoke Canal bank outside of a pub.

The weather being nice enough to sit outside and drink a pint at that time of year in England is rare. Rosie and Jim were so impressed that they can be seen looking at us out of the barge windows . (There aren't really any windows at all. It's all done with paint).

Because of the way Panama curves, the sun comes up over the Pacific. Here are some ships waiting waiting their turn to transit the Panama Canal.

December 2005, my husband and I took a cruise to the Carribbean and this was our ship, The Glory. This was taken while docked in Yucatan, Mexico.

This is one of those coastal tour boats, I couldn't believe how close it came to the beach.

This is the brig Stavros S. Niarchos, which is 60 metres in length with 45 metre masts. A brig is a sailing vessel with two masts, square rigged on both. Her maiden voyage was in February 2000, and a couple of years later I sailed on her around the Azores.

For a larger image see Stavros and for a picture of me climbing the mainmast see aloft

How much of that brig is under the water? It looks like there is a LOT above! Like it's just balancing on the surface. I love ships with sails, but I'm not able to ride the seas, if you know what I mean.

What a beautiful ship Picqero! What a trip that must have been. Not many people get a chance to sail a tall ship these days. I envy you.

Oh, picqero, that is SO cool! I'd love to get on a ship like that! This is a shot of a boat in the harbor at Roadtown, Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. In the background you can see some freighters.

Taken while riding on another boat on the St. Lawrence Seaway in the Thousand Islands.

Miss Windermere IV in the Windermere Steamboat Museum.

Apprently 4 World records were achieved in this, and it was recorded at a speed of almost 115mph on Windermere. (Which is 105 mph above the current speed limit.)

My sister and brother-in-law display this model narrowboat as a reminder of their vacation on one cruising the Trent system near Nottingham a few years ago.

Lossiemouth harbour. Behind the first wall is the harbour entrance. This seems to be the only boat away from the ones in the Marina.

This weeks slide show is here.
