Walking the Plank

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to walk the plank on a pirate ship with my hands tied behind my back. But it actually sounds fun to walk the plank if I could just dive off into the ocean, swim for a bit, and then get back on board the boat. These planks, however, have nothing to do with pirate ships. They are planking on a pier near a boat ramp on a lake. They are weather worn and even a bit mossy in places. They are however, sturdy enough to keep the boaters, fishermen, and sightseers afloat as they walk out on the water and gaze across water. 

I've still got some work to do on them, but they are coming along nicely.

Boardwalk

As a kid I never really understood the game of Monopoly. I could play it, but I didn't necessarily enjoy it. I do, however, remember that everyone wanted to buy "Boardwalk". It somehow meant you could better win the game. It was years before I knew where the famous Boardwalk was, and only in recent years that I understood how it applied to coastal living. 

This isn't even really a boardwalk, but rather a pier. However, it sent my mind back to those days, long ago, when we would pull out the game board, divvy up the money, and see who could out-buy everyone else. Just a little walk down memory (Boardwalk) lane.
