A Sailboat Sail


Isn't this sailboat sail just spectacular against Malibu's sunny sky?

It reminded me of Reiter 8, an Etsy store that offers bags and pillows made with recycled sails - you can also watch a video to see how the designer makes them, or check out her blog.

The sky in your shot is pure and clear. Oh, I'd love to wake up to such a blue sky ... it's gray very gray here in Paris today.

Gorgeous sky there and the sail reminds me of the brightest sun!

Mary-Laure said...

REITER8 - thanks for dropping by! I wish I could send you that bright sail... but it's not mine!

LENORENEVERMORE - the clouds are probably on spring break... though it did rain last night here in Malibu.

navegar, volar, sonar ... tu navegas?

Mary-Laure said...

SOLANGE - ah yes, the windy and frisky Netherlands... I'm sending you some Californian warmth via this blog.

SEALAURA - I had no idea they rented boats at the Marina del Rey, thanks for the info. I don't sail but I'm sure my dad would like to go there when he visits me.

ANONYMOUS - no, aunque a mis padres les encante navegar, a mi no me gusta nada. La verdad es que tengo mucho miedo del agua cuando estoy en un bote.
Me gustaria mas volar.

The sailboat is fabulous because it makes me think of sun, beach and ocean...and WARMTH!!

Carletta said...

What a vibrant image! The sail is lovely against the sky.
It's nice to know someone thought of a way to recycle the old sails.

Mary-Laure said...

RAINING SHEEP - ah yes, it is always warm in California...

CARLETTA - yes, why didn't someone think of that before??
