Twilight At The Waterfront

If you can deal with the crowds this time of the year, twilight is a great time to visit the waterfront. I have my secret spots I go to every evening alone to enjoy the last light of the day. A visit to the Boat Basin is a must. There's always a great variety of mega yachts there to view. All of them are rather ugly to me and I hardly ever give them a second look. Give me an old wooden Harvey Gamage eastern-rigged dragger or scalloper any day and I could stare at her for hours!

I ventured down to the waterfront recently at twilight and captured a few scenes-
The M/V Great Point steaming recklessly through the no wake zone. Not sure why Hy-Line is allowed to do that on a daily basis. Note her bow and stern wake. I never understood why this boat is exempt from following the no wake zone rule.
Kids hoping to net a minnow.
The mega yacht, Sea Owl at the fuel dock. Note all her underwater lights.

Yachts Med-moored. East face of Straight Wharf.
The Endeavor coming back from her sunset cruise.
You could drive a pick-up truck through that stern door!!!

Not sure why this little boat has 1,050 horsepower. I guess bigger is really better.

Buck Of The Week:
I was able to get one buck on one of my trail cams last week but he was too far away for me to enter it here as the buck of the week. I'm hoping to get a closer shot of him in the coming weeks. So for this week, I decided to post pictures of some of the fawns I have captured on my trail cams recently.













I caught these twin fawns on my new Bushnell trail cam. I always like to get fawns, especially twins, on my trail cams. I have yet to get triplets. In this video, the twins are messing around and then realize mom is gone so they take off after her. After they leave, there is nothing else on the video.
