Some Nice boats in the marinas

For this post I am going to share some shots of some of the nice watercraft in the marinas on Popes Island here in New Bedford.

Popes Island is one of two Islands crossed by three Bridges between New Bedford and Fairhaven that I visited a few times during Spring and Summer, I haven't been there for a few weeks as now most of the marinas are empty, but for today going back to warmer days when the marinas were fill with all kinds of water craft.

Now these shots were all taken early morning so longer exposures and using a tripod and starting with this shot, with nice warm pastel colors in the sky some cool boats and reflections

More reflections and Boats of all types, now @barski jokes with me that I must be a sailor with the photos I take of boats, but I have spent very little time on boats out on the water other than the odd ferry trip over the years in various places, so I don't foresee me having a boat and becoming a sailor in my future.

How about you?

Are you a sailor?
Have any interest in having a boat, or do you have one now?
What sort of boat do you have or would you want to have?

Of course the other boats that are very common here are the commercial fishing boats

New Bedford is apparently the busiest commercial fishing port in the country.

Now as for the questions I asked before how about me, well I think I did answer that, but perhaps the only boat I could afford would be one of these dinghies LOL
