The photohunter theme this week is nautical. I can't resist starting with a photograph of Bill which was taken around 1969 on a ship when he was in the navy.
I didn't take the first shot. Considering the fact that in 1969 I was only 12, I doubt that we would have ended up marrying each other if he'd know me when I was a goofy girl. 
I took the second shot of the sailboat in the ocean this past summer and I have no idea who was sailing it. As a part of my history, I will mention that Bill and I first got to know each other when we went sailing together. We were next door neighbors and realized we both like to sail.
The shot above is a star finder chart from Dutton's Nautical Navigation. The shot below are some useful items when sailing (compass, waterway map, waterproof jacket, tool to help with tight knots).
I also have a parallel lives photohunt post with SabineM on Snap2Days.To find other photohunters please visit PhotoHunt

I thought this was a hard theme and you really came up with some great shots! I love the star shot.
I enjoyed your "spring preview" post too. It's been a wonderful week of weather, for sure. And I too am still conserving water!
Happy V-Day and weekend!
All kinds of different nautical illustrations here today Carver. Mine is a bit more simple. Although I had a lot of ideas I did not seem to have the photos.
Have a great weekend.

sailing is one of my unfulfilled dreams... lovely shots
A very nautical photo-essay that takes in more than just ships. That's a wonderful picture of Bill and can see why you'd love it even if you didn't take it yourself. :)
Very nice! and I agree with elaine! Love your entries! as my dad was always on a ship, its sad I dont have photos of him now :D
:) nice variety of photos for the theme. love the charts. :)
happy weekend!
I didn't play, but this is a really great post Carver and very nautical..
Great collection of photos.
Aloha to a fellow sailor, Carver!
Bill was (is!) a handsome swabby, lucky gal ;-)
Bill looked cool :) These are lovely photos, Carver :)
HVD!
Wow such variety of shots! The blue waters with the sailboat is really beautiful. Happy hunting and Happy Valentine's Day.
A wonderful collection of nautical items (in which you should be included :)
Gerat set of shots. I love the photo of your husband
What a good post. There are eight years between me an D'star so I was in the RAF when she was a 'goofy girl'.
Nice pictures with a Valentine's story, lol !
Happy Valentine's day !
Very nice. I liked sailing, not the tacking and all the other baloney.
Awesome post... I never actually sailed before. I get somewhat seasick so I don't think I would do very well at it so I'll just be content to watch the boats sail by from the shore!
Happy Valentine's Day♥
Great collection of nautical photos. I love the vintage one of Bill best.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Handsome guy :) Great nautical photos. Didn't know you like sailing. I do too. Have you sailed at all lately? Been a while for me now.
Look at that handsome, impish grin he's wearing! Great series of sailing and nav shots. It's a wonderful thing to share a love of the sea. Happy Valentine's Day!
Lovely shots! I LOVE the one of Bill! What a handsome sailor!
Very nice, Carver. Just LOVE that first photo. I wish I had easy access to a photo of my hubby when he was a sailor...that very same year...only I was 19 then, not 12.
Happy Valentine's Day!
What a great idea to post the shot of the chart.
Love your nautical pics!

I wasn't able to participate on PH. I'll make it up on the next one.
loved your theme, and I enjoyed learning something about you- didn't know you two were neighbors, and that you fell for an older man :)
if we are ever on the same coast we will have to sail together!
