Buoys Life savers and such
Buoys Life savers and such
Good Morning all wishing one and all a great day.
For todays post I am sharing a few shots taken on a fairly recent walk around the port here in New Bedford as well as taking shots of the fishing boats in full I often am looking for details on the boats that catch my eye and that's what I will share with you today.
Starting off with life preserver ring

I wasn't sure what to call them and did a bit of reading online and found out yes that's an apt name but they can also be called a life ring, lifebuoy ring or marine ring. These rings are used to save someone if they fall overboard into the water, especially if you're sailing or out on the open water
and here is another one
All the boats have them onboard, I am sure it must be some safety regulation or other that they must have them onboard
On this one some has tied on a few empty milk bottles to it, perhaps ther ei someone heavy on board who would need extra flotation LOL

Another thing you see a lot of in a port is ropes in all sizes and colors, such as this one which was used to tie up one of the boats

Did you know you have your own profile map?
And every post has their own map too!
Want to have your post on the map too?
I love your idea about the one boat having someone heavy onboard seeing that they've got some milk bottles tied to the life ring...hahaha!
LOL I have a warped thought process from time ot time lOL
I love it...LOL👍! The world is serious enough...
That first one looks like it got quite a bit more use than the other one. Either that or it has just been sitting there so long. The opposite then I guess. I love all the great colors in these photos!
How are you dear friend @tattoodjay good morning
Surely you will have enjoyed this visit to the port a lot, they are places where there are many interesting things to photograph
I love everything that has to do with the boat. beautiful photographs
have a great day
Great pictures and a little lesson on sailing stuff for us landlocked folks in Vermont lol
The milk jugs are hilarious! They might not do much for flotation, but they sure give it character!

LOL thats what I thought :)
I think the name Lifebuoy is the right one, although they come in many shapes and sizes they all have the same function.
