Boats

"Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." from Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame.

We do live on an island, after all, so boats are a way of life here.  And what a variety we have!

No wonder many homes feature boat-related decor.
