  4. Such interesting red/orange sails...they produce a pretty distorted reflection on the rippling water. Great subject.

  5. Is it possible that the boat is called 'botter' becaused they used it to fish 'bot' (European flounder)?
    My first time here, but I'll come back.

  6. CaT,
    Ah, I can imagine you sometimes feel like that, I think many people living abroad have simular thougths. But you have great nature with mountains there!

    Ron,
    I don't know, internet didn't mentioned it, but it could be.

  7. The dark sails on this gaff-rigged sloop are distinctive... what a fun way to spend a day.
