Speed Boat

Last weekend, we all went out on a boat together. My colleague Jim has a little fishing boat that's docked up in the Parker river in Newbury, MA. This, Boston's north shore, is truly a beautiful part of the world. Lots of rivers that snake through marshland and dumps right out into a dramatic Atlantic. Elliot didn't much like the life jacket, but he put up with it in exchange for the thrill of his little lifetime.




Notice the grape on my shoulder. After about an hour, we found a little beach at which to dock. This is a view of Crane's beach, which was right across the way from the southern tip of Plum Island (which is where we docked the boat).



We threw an anchor in the water and walked out to the shore. Of course, Elliot wanted only to walk back into the water.


As you can see, he's having a grand ol' time.




This pic won't cooperate, but here's a sideways version of Elliot taking a little nap on the boat ride back to the dock.
