  2. WOW, love all the little boats in the harbour!
    We have just had all the tall ships here for a while, schooners, baroques, and I wish I had taken some photo's of them.
    But we live so far from the sea, so we only got to watch them on Idiot Box in the corner of the room!
    I do remember seeing them once, but I must have been about 10 at the time,but I remember how fantastic they all were.

  11. Oooo man...so relaxing - just looking at it! Wish I were on a boat somewhere with a book, a glass of sweet iced tea, and a gentle breeze. Man, I drifted away there for just a sec! This is a wonderful photo!

    Alice - Monterey is one of the few really old places in California. It was the capital when it was part of Mexico.

    Robyn - One of my favorites also. We've been there many times.

    Betty - Me too!

    Marlene - It will be there when you're ready to go...

  18. It's pretty cool, Pat. The boats almost look like toys! In face, and I had to go back and make sure your post didn't mention that they WERE toys, you know, the remote control ones...
