I Saw Three Ships

…come sailing by. 

The essence of summer: Blue skies, the sun sparkling on the sea and yachts on the horizon.  We’re back to sunshine – I thought that was it for a minute there and so The August Break had been brought to a premature end.  Instead I’ve had a wonderful day in the sun.  How ’bout you?

Messing About On The Water

Y is for Yacht. 

Origin of the word: 1550–60; from the Dutch jaght, shortened from  jaghtschip - hunting ship, (deriv. of jagen, to hunt + schip, ship).  The first yachts were built as light, fast sailing ships to pursue pirates, for use as customs vessels and to deliver pilots to waiting ships.

I always tend to post early, simply because I’m in-n-out of here lately, but from later today (Tuesday) and throughout Wednesday, you can see more examples of how other bloggers interpret the letters of the alphabet over at the ABC project, hosted by Mrs Nesbitt

B is for Blue

The beautiful blue of Lake Tahoe, USA.
