Boat Trip

From our new seaside world-viewing platform we could hear putt-putt-putt-putt and a little boat came bobbing round the headland. The two people sitting at the back, a man and a woman, might have been of an age beyond their working years, chatting in that relaxed, familar way of lifelong friends, just out for a 'turn' in their little boat on a nice evening.

Their boat had a canopy, and even a life ring attached to its little mast.

Puttering towards the sunset.
A bit later we spotted them further out at sea going back the other way, the boat working a little harder in the swell from a long past ferry, the humans still sitting knee by knee, the happiest couple on the sea. 

I bet they were holding hands.

    What a beautiful scene painted by these words and photos, and simply thinking about this happy old couple gives great pleasure.
    Thank you!

    Aw Tigger, you have a romantic streak! But I agree, a lovely scene and hard not to imagine the contentment in that wee boat. Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx

    I think it would be bliss to spend an afternoon sailing around on the water
    I’m definitely going to push hubby to take me out on the boat this summer Might even catch something for dinner

    that tiny boat in the very large expanse of water scares me silly. it really does have a soothing effect, the photo I mean, and I can hear the putt putt from your words. they look happy and that is what counts these days. the little things are what matter.
