We are beside the ocean so, boats/ships are an important part of life here and from time to time, we see them pass.
Be sure to click on the images (especially 2, 3, 4 and 7) to see a larger version
Most, of course, are fishing boats which are plentiful and usually in the morning we can see at least a half dozen or more presumably still fishing or on their way home.
In an earlier post I showed some close ups of colourful fishing boats from Santa Luzia - here are a some of photos of less colourful fishing boats putt-putting slowly past the beach, one with numerous companions, bunches of gulls, clearly circling overhead.
In the second photo you have to look very closely to see the fishing boat, but I like the photo so included it. Click on the photo to find the fishing boat.
Quite often there are sailboats of various sizes and some are close enough to get a reasonable photo from our balcony with a zoom lens.
The three photos here include a range of sizes, including a beautiful looking large two mast sailing ship.
A couple of days ago I saw what I thought was someone on a sailboard - couldn't see it well from the balcony but here is what it was. Definitely the smallest sailboat we've seen here.
Then there are the less appealing tanker like ships - one in particular that has been involved in the building up of the beaches, has been prowling around for several days. I included it in an earlier posting, but here is one photo of it close to shore and another quite far out.
The last photo doesn't really show the ship but I include this photo, again, because I like it.
