More fun in the sun. This was picture was taken less than a week ago! It was a beautiful, warm day and people were out enjoying every bit of it. These two sailboats make a good picture to give you an idea of how it felt to be out on the Dunedin Causeway, or sailing in Hurricane Pass, between Caladesi Island and Honeymoon Island. Even standing still in the shade, to take my photographs, was a very hot endeavor!
The nearer, blue, sailboat is a trimaran, but I don't know the make. The further boat, with the multicolored sail, is a Hobie Cat. Hobie is a very popular brand of catamaran. They are light, and easy to sail. And LOTS of fun. Trimarans can be a lot of fun too. This trimaran was not exactly screaming along, but if you want to see an incredible trimaran video on YouTube, click here. It gets more incredible as you get a little further into the video.
Oh, and did I mention... The City Of Dunedin Holiday Street Parade, aka Christmas Parade, is tomorrow! Yup, tomorrow starting at 11AM! And also, they are having the Candy Cane Lane Holiday Craft Fair Extraordinaire! The craft fair will be at the Dunedin Community Center. The parade will be on Douglas Ave. Also on Sunday, the Holiday Chorus Concert, also at the Community Center. Lots of fun stuff this weekend!
Smooth sailing...for Hurricane Pass ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun. Great picture.
ReplyDeleteI just was telling Ann (MoBay) how much I appreciate these warm ocean views tonight. It shouldn't be this cold up here in early December.
ReplyDeletewonderful pictures. makes me want summer come quicker, so we can watch these by the lake in Austria. RO has no tradition and no huge lakes for such a thing, and I have no clue if you can sail on the Black Sea...
ReplyDeleteI think that boat has my name on it. . . .
ReplyDelete".........I got boards to bend, I got planks to nail
ReplyDeleteI got charts to make, I got seas to sail
I'm gonna build me a boat
With these two hands
It'll be a fair curve
From a noble plan
Let the chips fall where they will
Cause I've got boats to build
Sails are just like wings
The wind can make em sing
Songs of life songs of hope
Songs to keep your dreams afloat
I'm gonna build me a boat
With these two hands..............
Shores distant shores
There's where I'm headed for
Got the stars to guide my way
Sail into the light of day.............."
:)
