It's the middle of summer and we still have not been able to get out on the water. We have been so busy with our move and Tom starting his new job that we have not had the time. But there is still a few weeks left and we are making plans to rent a boat and get some time on the water. We have looked into renting a boat in Wrightsville Beach. There are also some boat cruises we can take on the Cape Fear River. We haven't decided yet but I will make sure we go boating at least one time this year.
In the meantime, I found some great pictures of our boating adventures. A few years ago, we were in Costa Rica and we decided to hire a boat to take us fishing. The fish were not biting that day but our captain found us a deserted beach and we anchored. What fun. We had the beach to ourselves and the water was clear and beautiful.
I also found some photos of our boating trip in Lake Tahoe. That was such an amazing boat trip. We were able to cruise around the lake and see the most amazing sites. The mountains had a little snow on the top. The water was calm and beautiful. We also cruised by the house that was used in the Godfather movie. We had the best time on that boating trip.
When I look back on my life, I see that boating has been a big part of my life. It started when I was very young and, as I got older, I have continued indulging my love of boating. My dream is to one day own a boat so I can go boating whenever I want. Now that we have moved to Coastal North Carolina, that dream might come true.
My love of boating will always continue whether or not we get a boat. Luckily, there are resources like DiscoverBoating.com. Discoverboating.com has tons of information for any boater.

Gorgeous pictures! I love boating, nothing beats going out on the water with great company and seeing nature up close.
ReplyDeleteYou have some great pictures here to keep alive the memories. Boating is such a fun hobby for many people. My family are boaters and spend much time on the water during the warm months.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the trip was a lot of fun. We don't have a boat but my brother does. I went with them last summer for some boat joy riding. Had a lot of fun and got burned too!
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun! I love going on boats, I have always wanted one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place and how kind of the captain! I haven't been on a boat in years, but seeing your pics reminds me just how much fun it can be. It's so darn hot here (with the exception of the last few days which have been okay) that I hope you get out on the water soon and make some more memories!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful pictures of you and your family out on the boat. How wonderful to have the beach all to yourself. You have awesome pictures of Lake Tahoe. The water is so blue. I have been out in the boat this summer with my sister. She has a boat and I always love going out in it.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had fun! I can't believe how blue the water is in Lake Tahoe. I've got to see it for myself. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe boating website is very interesting, lots of good information. Thanks for sharing. We have a canoe and go out occasionally, very relaxing.
