This morning I spent a little time up by the Hingham yacht club watching teens preparing their fleet of boats for sailing. It was a very calm morning, and the boats look like fish out of water laid out on the dock. Behind them, a couple of boats moved slowly out of the harbor in the almost windless morning. The boats are so graceful in the water, and so ungainly lined up on the dry dock. I liked the sense of pending action. By the way, that's always what I found funniest about the Far Side cartoons... something was often about to happen. Action pending... Here's an example:
And, here's a photo on site this morning. What a nice way to begin my day.
These lovely boats, one small and simple, the other large and more sophisticated were at rest in this secluded Maine cove. Maybe their sailors are waiting for the weekend. I like their juxtaposition and relative scale. Thanks for looking.
