SWISH; SWASH

Saw this pleasure boat about one hundred metres out in the open sea taking tourists, probably, to Comino – a small island which forms part of the Maltese Archipelago half way between Malta and Gozo. Only one family lives on the island but it has a few lovely beaches and diving sites which make it very attractive to Maltese and tourists alike.

I liked how the boat was dipping into the waves on the choppy waters – bet there were some passengers who got seasick by the time they got to their destination.
You can also see part of a cruise liner on the horizon coming towards Grand Harbour.
Thank you very much for looking and for your wonderful comments and the fav’s on yesterday’s picture.

Beautiful ocean view. The ocean cruiser looks really imposing off in the distance :-)

The vastness of the deep blue sea, beautiful

Lovely capture Dione, those small boats don't ride too well in choppy seas. Love the blue of the water.

[Sue Wilde]

This is gorgeous

[mervyn hobbs]

Very nicely taken. The boat is packed with people.

Nicely done - the splashes give a real sense of the boat zipping through the water :)

Sounds like a lovely place to visit . Beautiful capture of the movement of the sparkling blue waters, and I like how you caught a bit of the big ocean liner, too. Malta sounds and looks like paradise. Sure wish I would have thought to go there during my traveling days. Just saw this morning that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are doing a film there in August: http://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/jul/07/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-shoot-movie-malta-august

That is a large splash into the water; I do love the sea always drawn to it but do suffer from sickness, any motion really but the sea is the worse
