Boats of Dalmatia - Storm is coming
I decided to walk with my dog before the upcoming storm.
The sea is undulating and I see the boats dancing on the waves. These are some of the most beautiful scenes for me! The strength of the sea, the power of the wind... it is little bit scary and very beautiful on the same time. So I couldn't resist to take some photos and, maybe, make some GIF-s.
All photos and GIF-s were taken and made by me on my iPhone SE. You can click on any of photos to get better preview. GIF-s are not clickable! The location is about 300 meters from my home!
The most of these docks that I will show you are illegal. People act like they own the sea and the coast. So they make these docks very bad and unprofessional. As the years pass, everything falls apart.

Many people here are fishermen. The boat is a necessary vehicle and, in many cases, lives are depending on it!
Young people are not interesting in the fishing as older ones. You need to have a lot of experience to be successful as a fisherman. Older guys know many old school tricks but old ways are coming to end. I am glad that technology and progress come here very slowly, so you can still see many of these boats far from the coast when we have nice weather. Today, that is not the case, so they are tied to the docks. These two boats on photos below are protected in little lagoon.

But everywhere else around, the sea is starting to be wild.
This is nothing comparing what we expect to see this afternoon.
So I must run from this spot if I don't want to my phone to get wet.
Every day when I walk I see this wreck. I find it beautiful! I has been here for years and nobody cares, It is a very old, wooden fishing boat, now it is treated like piece of garbage!
|
And really nobody cares, nobody recognizes the potential that this boat has!
Well, it is impossible to renew it to sail again, but I think that it can be useful as very nice decoration i backyard or garden. Maybe I take it for myself. Just a little bit of creativity and this could look beautiful somewhere around my olive trees. It is shame for this boat to be treated like this. It's a practically a dumpster!
I don't own a boat anymore, I had to sell it few years ago. Now I'm sorry for that and I always consider to get one.
Last time when we had big storm, several chains and ties were broken, wind broke few boats on the shore. Once I even saw a boat flying on the wind! So, we always have to check our boats or boats of our neighbors and friends.
You see, @moon32walker, your boat is OK for now! Last time when we had storm, it ended up on the coast turned upside down. Luckily, no damage!
The sky is becoming black. This is going to be nasty so I must run! Thank you, sisters and brothers Steemers for reading this post, I hope that you enjoyed it!
