I am happy to say, that “boats” are the theme for this weeks #FriFotos. A boat, by definition, is a vessel made to float in a body of water. Anyone that knows anything about Kenin and myself, knows that we love water. We have sailed on a great number of cruises, we like all water sports (well, most water sports), we have always lived close to oceans, and I am from a small island, which meant weekend beach trips were mandatory. This also means that we love boats. Here are a small collection of our personal favorite photos of boats.
This is me cruising with my dad on Flying Fish. This is our “party” boat. :) I mentioned before that I am from a nice small island in the Caribbean. Trinidad is where my family still resides and I visit often. This is usually what we do for fun.
This is Zaga. This is my dad’s speedboat. We take it out when we visit and I want to get a little adrenaline rush. Not for cruising. :)
We spent this past holiday season in Trinidad. I know what you are thinking. What does Christmas have to do with this weeks #FriFotos? Well, when you are from a tropical island and live in houses that have no chimneys, Santa is left to do one thing, improvise!
While cruising through the Caribbean, we came across this “boat”. At least now we know where all the rum went. This was the highlight of my Disney cruise. After this sighting however, I was constantly on the lookout for pirates.
These fishing boats look like they are ready to race.
Saw this guy in the Bahamas.
This is my dream boat. One day it will be mine and Kenin and I will sail around the calm waters of the Caribbean on her.
This boat was washed ashore on a lake we lived on many years ago in Orlando. This is what hurricanes do to boats :( Bad hurricane!
Sometime shipwrecks remain, and they eventually become part of the ocean.
My last contribution to this post isn’s a photo, but a video that expresses just how much I love boats.
The shipwreck photo is so great, my favorite from this post.
Lauren great photos and very enjoyable post. I discovered you today when looking for info on blowing rock in Jupiter. I think that it is the most unusual and beautiful beach in FL. I too was born here, Miami, and have experienced most of Florida’s coastline. I look forward to following you. Lynne
Thanks so much Lynn. Glad you enjoy our travels. You should follow us on Facebook. We are always somewhere new. :) And do fun giveaways on FB.
Love that photo of the Flying Dutchman! Oh how I miss traveling in the Caribbean.
By far one of my favorite posts from you two :) I have never been; amazing shots, and I love boats :) The Dutchman shot is great, but better still is the one of you (Lauren) and your dad. 10 points if that’s a beer in his hand and not just a soda =P Beer and boats FTW!
At one point when I was leaving Bulgaria I seriously contemplated buying a small sailboat and taking lessons with my friend up in Seattle to get all my licenses and then doing some coastal traveling down along Central/South America. It’s still a dream, but I have to wait for “sail mail” to get better so that I can stay connected throughout the travels rather than only relying on port mail.
Great stuff!
