The other day we stopped to look at an old marina where repairs are made but mostly where they take the ships apart for scrap metal. My imagination was working on overtime---it would be so cool to own one....not to sail but to fix up and live in! lol
We have a friend who works there and he said most of the boats/yachts, old-time paddle boats like those that traveled the Mississippi and tons of sailboats are all abandoned.
What a shame.
So now you can see just a glimpse of the thousands of boats that reminded me of the Velveteen Rabbit and the limbo that abandoned toys are left in when they are no longer loved!
