drawing challenge/ship


Ahoy!





I imagine what it would have been like to travel by ship.  Months at sea in search of new land or familiar trading ports.  What a different life.  Minus the scurvy, rats, vicious storms, and pirates, I imagine it was at times a very romantic escapade.  The salty air, the infinite waters, the sound of wind in the sails.

I have never been on a sail boat.  Before we leave Marblehead I hope to do this.  Being in the yachting capital of the world (or so they say), how could we not take advantage of this opportunity?



Zach took this video with his phone here in Marblehead at Fort Sewell.  Listen to the wind!

I'll be hosting next week.  Visit me in a day or two and I'll share the theme.

so is the video
i love that sound
and what a grand ship!

sailing is so great
close to the elements
and so quiet
i love it when the engine stops
and the wind and sails take over

Dear Rachel,
what a lovely ship, so friendly. Those pretty sails and the flags shows the direction.
And the smart sailing ship through the telescope (like a real captain!) from Zach... just wonderful. With (t)his point of view and that sound of wind I take a trip to the seaside, wonderful, gorgeous!

Thank you,
love,
Ariane.
