I took these pics at the marina yesterday. These boats have been sitting there for a long time, so their owners are obviously in no hurry to get them back in the water. Downloading is recommended.

Wouldn't it have been nice if they didn't have to fence #2 in and then stick a pole in front of it?
Like so many things it will turn to dust someday.

I don't know what it is but I love old boat photos. Nice job, Earl.

It's a shame about the fencing around the boats. Still a cool set Earl.

It's a shame there's a need for the fencing.

Actually it doesn't look to be in too bad a shape, but it definitely needs some TLC care, new wood and labor, but it is a totally different skill set than working on a house, but if the owner has boat building/repairing skills and time, it could be made usable, but would he want to put that time, money and effort into an old wooden hull? The final cost may approach that of a new or maintained fiberglass hull. I put a lot of time and effort working with my father on his wooden boats, and loved them , but I'm also pragmatic enough to know I'm happier with fiberglass hulls.

As one old sage once said "a boat is nothing more than a hole in the water into which you pour money!" I'm sure the owners hope these craft will float once again.

And that old tale is mostly true, but on the other hand so are most hobbies, like your Rods. Of course if you are into historic antique cars there is no upper cost limit.

Fortunately I can still afford the moderate cost of my boat, and it gives me an escape and cheap vacations!

Just think, with global warming those boats will be floating shortly.
