YELLOW — MAYBE NOT SO MELLOW

074 Definitely a yellow picture, but not so mellow for the guys on the other end of the tow rope. 

We passed this boat out on the river.  Tow boats are a common sight around here.  There are a lot of shallow places — sand bars — around here and it is said that all Florida boaters have either gone aground or are going to.

And then of course there are the breakdowns which boats are prone to, as we know from experience.  The towing company that we have insurance with is Boats USA and their emergency boats are red.  Whatever color, we of course hope we never have to use their services again.  But (like all insurance) that's why we keep up the premiums.

046 We hoped the boat under tow in these pictures had good insurance  – it was so large that it needed a tow boat in front AND in back.   We were too close to get a picture of the whole "parade" but you can glimpse the one in back of the disabled boat here.

  1. Tug boats I’d heard of, but tow boats? Never! Glad I stopped by today!
    YELLOW CURES THE BLAHS
    A seeker of yellow, they say,
    Is likely to savor the day
    If painted in cream
    Or golden—a dream
    That overcomes all shades of grey!

  2. Gosh, Sallie, this is one of those things I have never, ever thought of. Thank you for broadening my world!

  3. Not an easy job but there are some perks like being paid to go boating everyday.. its not so great in bad weather.
    I hope you never have to use one either, Sallie!
    hugs,

  4. I never would have thought of that. It sounds a bit like belonging to the Auto Club.

  5. The towing services are definitely useful! This is a wonderful capture for MYM.

  6. The boating world is completely unknown to me. I never thought about insurance for breakdowns but, of coursem it makes sense. Hope you don’t have to use the service very often.

  7. Oh dear. I guess that boater is feeling pretty mellow.

  8. Looks like there is a lot of traffic going on there. Great capture.

  9. I came by to get my morning fix of FL sunshine, Sallie. Although here in Denver it’s shining today, too. Happy Valentine Day!

  10. I wonder if out there under all that traffic there’s a lurking yellow submarine in the waters. 🙂
    A terrific Mellow Yellow capture.

  11. Beautiful shots.

  12. Cute shot for MYM!
