I’ve said it before: “I don’t like boats.” They rock, and they roll, and most dangerously of all, they hold the potential for something to go horribly wrong and create a watery demise. I have seen a lot of boats lately- most recently last weekend on my trip north to Bar Harbor, Maine. While I was there I took over seven hundred pictures of boats alone, and I’ll admit to liking half of those pictures.
