M is for MOORAGE at the MARINA


I couldn't figure out what to do for the letter M today, and after mulling it over, decided to go with a series of shots I've taken at various marinas around aarea.  As you may know, I live in the delta of the Fraser River which leads out to the Strait of Georgia and then to the Pacific Ocean.

Muchas gracias to the macho Roger, our administrator, who keep ABC Wednesday a popular spot for people from many parts of the world.  He stepped into this role after our multi-talented Mrs. Nesbitt created ABCW and requested some much needed assistance.

So, there are many marinas around here where I go for walks and photo ops.  Hope you like my photos.

    I KNOW the word moorage, but can't recall ever actually USING it. Good call.

    I am muy macho! (HA!)

    Moorage is a new word for me! What a marvellous slide and melody to go with it! Thanks it's a treat!

    Wonderful tour of the West Coast Marinas, Leslie. I like the old fishing boat... It's been a long time since I've been down to the ocean. or even to the Fraser Valley!

    Very familiar with the word from our sailing days. What a blessing they were in keeping our family together doing family things.

    Love the 'fishing boats through the trees!' and the 'moored for winter' shots. I enjoyed the music too, as much as the views.

    That's a wonderful place to live--what glorious views to take in as you go on your walks. It would be so nice to own any one of those boats. Nice music you chose.

    I do love a harbour, gorgeous reflections. I laughed at "Fat Chance" I'm sure that will run through my mind next time I'm looking at a boat for sale sign.

    In Aucklands, we have a lot of moorage and Marinas, and sadly we lost the America's cup.
