Since I spent the day in Long Beach with Corky, we went for a walk, of course. It was a gorgeous day with a temp around 71 at 4pm. We were gone for about 35 minutes, but some of that time was Corky doing his "business" and some was of the Poodle Nanny taking pictures! It seemed that a lot of electric boats were uncovered enabling me to read their names. I believe all of these are made by Duffy, a name that has come to mean electric boat in this area. It is a great challenge for the new owners to come up with something "electric" when they name their boat, although not all the names are in that category. This first one is named so because it is a Duffy.
I believe this one once belonged to Corky's parents. When a boat changes owners the name is usually not changed because the legend has it that a new name will bring bad luck to the boat.
Nice reflection in this picture.
These electric boats don't go very fast and they aren't for ocean cruising. But there are many channels around Long Beach, allowing a lazy , quiet cruise to see the houses and boats and people along the way. They are especially popular for decorating at Christmas time and riding in the Boat Parade.
