Up in the Rigging

Aloha, Summer Sailor!

We're up the bowsprit!


“Then the bowsprit got mixed with the rudder sometimes.”

Lewis Carroll





Great view from up here.


“People love to step out on a deck

and not see anyone or anything except a great view.

Even if the only view is the vast sky,

the feeling people get is expansion and relaxation.”


Amanda Sturges






I can look down on my neighbors' "roofs."





"The greatest monarch on the proudest throne

is obliged to sit upon his own arse."


- Benjamin Franklin





"Up on da roof"


"I'm not the type

who'll yell about my achievements

from the rooftops."



Aishwarya Rai

Look!

I'm climbing around the boat like a monkey-

Thank you, pain,

for teaching me how

WONDERFUL

it is just to be mobile

and pain-free.



Wheeeeee!



Thanks for visiting!

  2. Aloha.

    Oh I would so love to be on water in the city. It is nice to be in the remote but I would much, much prefer to be in the hustle and bustle of a city. Beautiful pictures. Thank you for sharing, please share more:)

  17. I just wanted to mention that your thoughts on retirement were meaningful and moving. Many hit this stage of life without being prepared mentally or financially. I wish everybody a bit of luck to come up on the good side of things. I hope to one day too.

  18. Some things feel good to shout about from the rooftops, though! Shouting from rooftops is not always about boasting, right? ;-)

    Greetings from The River!

  19. Cloudia,

    Edunacate me...how common is it to LIVE on a boat. Are thrie Taxes, or just Marina fees? Power..can I go back to archives and find this out!

    It is soooo freakin' cool!

    Aloha, and I LOVE that the back pain is gone--I'm gonna post a funny story about mine! Not a competition- but a FUNNY story..the way the wife tells it! On the couch for three days--which is where I ALWAYS am--so what was the difference--well I'll tell ya.

    Stay tuned,

    John
