I have photographed this boat a few times over the last couple of years. It just sits on our closest beach, close to all the expensive boats at the marina.
I have no idea who it belongs to, but it has been here for a while, so think it must have been abandoned.
In the background is the Anchorage Resort where you can spend the night for between $250 and $450 for a standard room and considerably more for a suite.
Love that boat, in fact I would be tempted to crop the modern houses out. Although if you've photographed it before, you probably have already done so.
Looks like a wonderful old boat that probably has lots of great memories & stories. Would love to see it shot from the opposite side with the water as the backdrop :)
Of all the expensive boats on the beach I'd be drawn to this one too. Love the tired paintwork and how the sand has drifted around it like a sea. Not sure I'd be able to afford to step through the front door of the Anchorage Resort let alone spend the night there :D :D Nice capture :)
@777margo@yorkshirekiwi Thanks, they aren't houses in the background, it is a holiday resort at the marina. Yes Carole I have photographed the boat before without The Anchorage Resort in the background.
Great shot of this lovely old boat, it looks there are other possibly abandoned items between it and the resort. The Anchorage sounds a bit out of my price range too :)
I like how you have the expensive resort in the background of the picture. It provides a stark contrast to the poor old weather beaten and somewhat neglected boat.
@karlow75 Thanks Kane. The boat has been here for quite a while. The resort would be a good place to stay. Luckily I only live a few minutes walk from here so don't have to pay those prices.
@happypat Luckily I don't have to pay the prices to stay at the resort because I live just a few minutes walk from here.
The colours on the boat are from the different layers of paint over the years. It makes a lovely pattern now doesn't it.
@lynne5477 Thanks Lynne, the sand is very white here so I can see why you thought it was snow. Luckily we don't get snow here in our part of the world.
@stephanies Thanks Stephanie, that is what I wanted to show, the contrast between the boat and the resort.
Luckily I don't have to pay the prices to stay at the resort because I live just a few minutes walk from here. This is our closest beach.
