Zooming In at the Twin Dolphin Marina



You can not sink someone else's end of the boat and keep your own afloat.  Charles Bower



 Dead ahead, through the pitch-black night, the captain sees a light on a collision course with his ship.
He sends a signal: "Change your course ten degrees east."

 "Change yours ten degrees west," comes the reply



The captain responds, "I'm a United States Navy captain! Change your course, sir!"



 "I'm a seaman second class," the next message reads. "Change your course, sir."



The captain is furious. "I'm a battleship! I'm not changing course!"




"I'm a lighthouse. Your call."

Dedicated to Declan

Declan's photo borrowed from his Mum
While speaking to my friend Declan in the UK, he said he would like to come to Florida, but his Mum said he can't get in the country, so they can't come.  I told him I would take photos of the marina for his Mum the next time I went to the library.
To meet Declan, click on the photo or his name.


 Above is my white SUV parked facing the waterfront of the library which is the building in the background  and below photos are the view from the library

Twin Dolphin Marina

 The sky cooperated just so I could tempt Deccy and his Mums to come for a visit because I had an idea on how to get Deccy through customs.



White balance on  Shade in this one



 Below is my IDEA.. I reserved the empty slip, and Deccy if you charter a private boat (make it a big one since it is a LOOONG way from UK to Florida) there is no customs, you just park the boat and get off in Florida.

I have included the photo of the breakwater wall that protects the boats from wakes of boats speeding in the no wake zone..... I am Waiting Deccy.
and we do have three Greyhound Rescues here... in case you get lonely.


PS my bestest  friends have four paws, don't yours?
