Challenge September 3-5, 2015 Boats and Floats

What a good start to September. Loved the ordinary things. You all do such great work. I have to second Larry's word on how nice it is that everyone is so helpful. I join those who appreciate help. I love a good critique. That is one great way to learn.
Now for Boats and Floats. See what you can capture in this category. I know you will have some great work to post.
One reason I love this first one is while I watched this Dad and son, I notice that the son was holding on to Dad's pant leg with all his might. That is a picture of trust to me. i like the colors in the second one. The third one made me say, "Bless the Lord, O my soul!"
One website that offers some good information on photographing boats and photographing from boats, which can be tricky:

I really love #1, especially since you explained what was going on. Love the rest too! Your ability to get the composition correct is fabulous!

These were taken at Port Bruce, ON. The water was very rough and it is on Lake Erie....very difficult to get large waves on a lake! But this young man and a friend were trying to make the best of it.
#3 was taken at Mitchell's Bay. The wind surfers can go out a long way as this lake is really shallow!

I found this boat looking like a box on the water. It was so long and blocky looking. These two fisherman were netting fish from their boat in Saint John Harbour. They had a good catch!
quite a few fish for their work

At the Marina... there are lots of boats here during the summer months. Boating is a popular pastime in this area.

And lastly and althoughthis is stretching the theme a bit, but I was once taken up with creating a quilt with the theme name, Ships at Sea and I loved making it, it is now on my son's bed.
quilt blocks lay out
