Mahogany

Motion blur is a nifty feature, yet hard to capture well. This old beauty was passing by and I tried to get the focus on the boat but it only went so/so. This beauty is probably around 70/80 years old and still going strong. In impecable state. I can´t imagine owning one because for every hour at sea there´s at least 40 hours of grinding and polishing but it´s easy to admire the craftmanship involved in maintaining an old boat like this.
Isn´t it weird how things shift focus when you get older? Going crazy nowadays means daring to drink a cup of coffee after dinner (no, decaf is not really coffee) and threatening that nights sleep. In the good old days going crazy meant downing 10 vodka on the rocks while clubbing.

Things certainly do shift focus. No longer is drinking recommended when I have to get up for work the next day. It’s now only Friday or Saturday. Also, in my youth, I never ever got hangovers. Somewhere around turning 30 that all changed for me. Then it was all, “ah, so this is that feeling that everyone talks about”.
