"there's nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats."

- the wind in the willows

here's all the boats speeding in for the drive by of the pier right before the ski show.

ah the seafarer marina, what a wonderful place. did you know that seagull and seafarer's combined fleet is the second largest in the nation next to the navy's. cool huh?

the pier. i long to watch the sunset over the pier everyday.

right now seafarer is really tugging on my heart strings. i want to be in raleigh this summer since i'm never home for long, but finding a job has been a huge challenge. and out of the blue camp offered me a senior in charge, motorboating staff position for six weeks. an offer that is hard to refuse. i have to admit making this decision has been very hard, i have until tomorrow to let them know. these pictures take me back to the neuse river, the place i love more than many things.
