Living Aboard a Boat
Reflections on Cruising
W is for What Cruising Means to Us
Wednesday, April 27, 2016TheCambrians
During the month of April, we're
participating in the Blogging From A to Z Challenge where every day (excluding Sundays) we'll be posting to
the blog . . . alphabetically. The overall theme we've chosen to tie all the
entries together is living aboard a boat and cruising – things
we've learned along the way: our thoughts, reflections, and tips for those just
starting out or who are interested in this lifestyle.
What does cruising mean to us? It’s a good question but surprisingly difficult to
answer. My immediate response was “freedom”, but it’s so much more than that; and
whenever I tried to articulate further, I fell short. So, I decided to show
you (for captions, hover over the photo):

Absolutely fabulous! -Lucy
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lucy.
DeleteWonderful shots!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ellen.
DeleteAmazing photos, Stephanie. They sure capture your cruising life and why you love it so much. Jealous of the bear photo in Alaska. I never succeeded in taking one of those. And, I had no idea the beaches are so beautiful in BC! Wonderful collection of life, nature and freedom!

Thanks, Liesbet. The water may be cold up here, but our west coast beaches are beautiful!
DeleteSpectacular photos! They really show the range of your cruising. Equally interesting to me is what *isn't* in your pictures -- like buildings, cities, other boats. Jealous of your solitude!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jaye. We have some city pictures too but when you get down to the bare bones of what cruising means to us, it's all about the solitude and living in nature.
DeleteAmazing and inspiring photos! Now that I have bookmarked your tips on taking great vista photos, what kind of camera are you using? I believe you said it's a DSLR? I'm on the fence in terms of buying one of those. So complicated! Even more than what i have now. Melissa at http://littlecunningplan.com/2016/04/w-is-for-water/
ReplyDeleteI had it narrowed down to three choices: the Canon 60d, the Nikon d7000 and the Pentax K5. I chose the Pentax because the quality of build (the others were plastic bodies)and the specs (the Pentax was the closest one to a professional DSLR). Of course, the minute I bought it it was obsolete and they no longer make the model (it was replaced by the faster K3 series).
DeleteI was about the compliment your high quality eye & the high level of resolution then to inquire
Deleteof camera brand... thank you big for such beautiful mind blowing chronicles ! I'm onboard thanks !
Cheers, Canyon!
DeleteWonderful. I think not being a seafood eater might be a drawback on a boat. Loving your A2Z - will come back and fill the rest in later!

Funnily enough, we're not big seafood eaters ourselves. With all of the salmon, crab, prawns, oysters and halibut on offer, you'd think we would be but it all goes to waste whenever we're around.
DeleteBeautiful photos. I especially like the brown bear.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that was an incredible day and one of our top Alaskan experiences last year. I'd love to do it all over again.
DeletePhenomenal photos!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
DeleteI've been following you guys for about six months! These are some of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen....thanks for sharing your journeys! Regards Chuck
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chuck. I really appreciate that!
