Choppy water!

Another brightly colored boat.

How about a bigger boat? We were out wading in the water when we heard this ship's horn go off. A parasailor and their small speed boat was directly in its path! How could you miss a ship that huge?

I can do Block Island too although not nearly as well as you Bob. This is near the ferry landing on the mainland.

This is the actual ferry docked on Block Island. Many places on the mainland advertised on the island that you could order stuff from them and they would put it on the ferry to be delivered to you.

Riverboat on the Amazon River. I traveled on it for a week with side trips in a motor boat. I loved happy hour and Pisco Sours.

That Amazon river boat things looks super! I am soooo jealous.

EmmaR's Amazon boat reminds me of one in the movie Fitzcaraldo, which is (very) loosely based on real events.

In the movie the protagonist's goal is to make enough money to build a lavish opera house in the Peruvian Rain Forest. His single-minded determination to accomplish this goal leads him to attempt what most people would consider an insane endeavor -- hauling a large steamship up over a ridge of land separating two rivers.

The character's insane determination is only matched by that of the director of the movie, who's single-minded determination to make the movie leads him to attempt what most people would consider an insane endeavor -- actually hauling a large steamship up over a ridge of land separating two rivers and filming it.
