I've photographed these docks in winter when there were no boats.  This was taken towards the end of summer, and in another couple of weeks, all the boats will be out of the water for the winter.

Empty Docks

At this time of the year in Connecticut, just about everyone has taken their boats out of the water and placed them in storage for the winter.  I'm sharing this with Weekend Reflections.  Hope you have a nice weekend.  

Two Yachts

I've been told that the difference between a boat and a yacht is that a yacht can carry other boats.  So if that's true, the following picture is definitely a picture of a what is perhaps a very expensive yacht with some gorgeous lines.

Carrying smaller boats on a yacht makes good sense to me.  It's very similar to towing smaller cars behind large motor homes.  But why stop at just carrying a smaller boat onboard a yacht?  If you really need to get around whether in port or on the high seas, one really needs to carry a helicopter aboard your yacht.

Both pictures were taken in Vineyard Haven, on Martha's Vineyard.  Apparently some very wealthy people keep their yachts there.

Sunbeam Fishing

Niantic, CT

I don't live too far from downtown Niantic, which is the only village/town along the coast in Connecticut, whose downtown area is right on Long Island Sound.  Just a little east of the downtown area is the Niantic Rivera with its marinas and docks.  There are a number of charter fishing boats that operate out of the Niantic River but not during March.  I'm sure things will get real busy around these docks in another month or so.
