The dry dock float seems to dwarf the boat.
This boat is at Martha Cove marina.

crowded...

It can be a crowded house at Martha Cove marina in the summer season...

unusual name...

I see the boat name, but unsure of the letters.
Russian?
This boat was moored at Martha Cove marina.

Life's Good

Today is Australia Day.
So I thought that this boat was a good one to post in celebration.
It is leaving the Martha Cove marina and heading for Port Phillip Bay.

More and more I am seeing smaller boats raised above the water like this.

Four Winns in Black and Yellow and White

One of many Four Winns models berthed at Martha Cove marina.
Not often have I seen black feature as a colour on a boat - especially on the hull.

Aquitane...

Stylish white boat berthed at the Martha Cove marina.
It looks either very well maintained or very new.
The partial roofline - canopy effect + the extra wheel element intrigued me.

Environment Protection Authority

I was surprised to see this Environment Protection Authority boat moored at Martha Cove marina.
But a cafe is nearby, just beyond the little ramp on the left.
Perhaps that is the clue.

Crowded House

Crowded House is a racing yacht, part of the Brighton Yacht Club,
but here it was seen moored at Martha Cove marina.
How ironic that the photo could only manage a crowded house of  "paraphernalia" too.

Watching the Boats

I like this photo for its novelty value.
Not often is a kookaburra seen appearing to watch a passing cargo ship.
This photo was taken at the top of Arthurs Seat mountain overlooking Port Phillip Bay.

Pilot Boat

It seems symbolic and right to choose a pilot boat for New Year's Day.
This one is crossing Port Phillip Bay from Queenscliff, near The Rip - entrance to Port Phillip Bay.

Happy New Year
