  10. That\'s a lot of winter that has to melt away before these boats will be used again.. The sunlight makes it cheerful though.

  11. I\'ve always been fascinated with lightships. As a teenager a friend and I headed out to the one off Boston in a very small boat one summer day. It was so far off-shore you couldn\'t see land from it. The crew were quite surprised to see us circling it in our small craft and told us to get the hell home!

  12. A really gorgeous winter shot, Frida. Love the contrast of the beautiful blue sky with the red of the boat and the white of the snow.
