As Water Rat said to the Mole in Kenneth Grahame’s _The Wind In The Willows_: “Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing–absolutely nothing–half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.”
Nice images. I see that you’re based in the US, but this looks very like a couple of parts of the UK that I’m very familiar with, so I’d be interested to know where you took these photos. Thanks!
