High and Dry by onewing

High and Dry

We have been out all day today at Broke Village Fair and I haven't had time tonight to process the photos taken today, so this is a photo I took a couple of weeks ago.

I thought that after all the rain we had last month this boat would have sailed away from the paddock it has been sitting in for a few years, but obviously it is going to be high and dry for some time to come.

Thanks so much for your lovely comments and favs of my photos yesterday. I am off to bed early tonight as I am pretty tired, so will catch up some time tomorrow hopefully.

It has been a beautiful day today and the temperature reached 27 degrees C. The warmest Spring day so far.

It does look a little out of place and in need of some love. Great capture. :)

A project for someone I guess Babs. Well spotted and captured.

Just think how it looked when it was brand new and gliding through the water.

Now that's what you call blown ashore.

What's a view.

You've captured the character and also created a story -- why a boat that looks like its days on the water are over, still sits there on its trailer as if waiting to be picked up for the next ride.

Asuperb capture --I love this old boat - it must have been great in its hay day !

I wonder if the poor boat will ever sail again......I doubt it by the looks of her....what a shame she is so neglected......some old chappie perhaps who has got too old to sail anymore.

Cool shot

Great shot

Poor old thing has definitely seen better days, wonder if it's owner has plans to renovate it!

A work in progress, or put out to pasture? Great shot Babs.

Great shot...looks like it could use some TLC. Wonder if is still a working boat...or like those cars that are abandoned in the fields for years.

@annied Thanks Annie. Don't worry, I know how difficult it is to keep in touch at the moment. I just need a few more hours in a day. Deb is coming up for a few days on Friday with the kids, so will have my hands full then too.

Thanks to all of you. I think this is somebody's 'project' there are a lot of them in our area, either a boat or a car or a bus or even a steam engine. I feel for the poor wives when their men bring home these 'treasures' ha ha.
